Nadav Ahituv is the Director for the Institute for Human Genetics at the University of California, San Francisco (USCF).[1][2][3] He is also a Professor in the Department of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences and leads the Ahituv Lab at University of California, San Francisco (USCF).[1][4]
Early Life and Education
He received his PhD with distinction in human genetics from Tel-Aviv University, where he worked on hereditary hearing loss.[1][3][2]
Research
Ahituv pioneered cis-regulation therapy (CRT) for genetic diseases that are caused due to low gene dosage and adipose manipulation transplantation (AMT) that engineers fat cells and implants them for therapeutic benefits.[5][6]
The Ahituv Lab investigates gene regulatory elements and their relationship to human diversity and disease.[4] The lab also focuses on identifying gene regulatory elements and linking nucleotide variation within them to various phenotypes, including morphological differences between species, drug response, and human disease.[7] The lab is co-developed massively parallel reporter assays (MPRAs) that allow for high-throughput functional characterization of gene regulatory elements.[8]
Awards and Honors
In 2014, Ahituv received the prestigious ASCPT Leon I. Goldberg young investigator award from The American Society for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics.[9][1]
