Ludwig Professor of Cancer Research and Director of the Center for Personal Dynamic Regulomes at Stanford University. He is a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator; he is also Professor of Dermatology and of Genetics at Stanford University School of Medicine. Chang earned a Ph.D. in Biology from MIT, M.D. from Harvard Medical School, and completed Dermatology residency and postdoctoral training at Stanford University. His research addresses how large sets of genes are turned on or off together, which is important in normal development, cancer, and aging. Chang discovered a new class of genes, termed long noncoding RNAs, that can control gene activity throughout the genome, illuminating a new layer of biological regulation. He invented ATAC-seq and other new methods for defining DNA regulatory elements genome-wide and in single cells. The long term goal of his research is to decipher the regulatory information in the genome to benefit human health.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Chang is a Member of the National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Medicine, and American Academy for the Arts and Sciences.

By combining novel algorithmic advances to achieve orders-of-magnitude efficiency gains with powerful but inexpensive GPU hardware, machine learning, and distributed computing technologies, the lab is developing next-generation approaches and open source software for predicting small molecule binding affinities, designing small molecules with desired properties, predicting drug sensitivity or resistance of clinical mutations, and understanding the detailed structural mechanisms underlying oncogenic mutations. The\u00a0Chodera lab co-develops the OpenMM GPU-powered molecular simulation framework, which powers numerous biomolecular modeling and simulation applications using physical modeling and machine learning. As a core member of the Folding@home Consortium, the lab harnesses the largest computing platform in the world\u2014the first to reach an exaFLOP\/s\u2014pooling the efforts of a million volunteers around the world to study functional implications of mutations and new opportunities for therapeutic design against cancer targets and global pandemics. Dr. Chodera co-founded the Open Force Field Initiative, a scientific collaboration funded by the NIH and an industry consortium consisting of dozens of scientists working to develop modern open source infrastructure for building and applying high-quality biomolecular force fields. Dr. Chodera is also a co-founder of the COVID Moonshot, an open science patent-free drug discovery effort that has developed a patent-free small molecule therapy effective against COVID-19 now funded to reach IND-enabling studies by the WHO ACT-A program to provide a low-cost antiviral treatment targeted at low- and middle-income countries.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-59ea2a1\" data-id=\"59ea2a1\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-97a28fc elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"97a28fc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.choderalab.org\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/recomb2022.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/John-Chodera-at-Charite-Berlin.jpg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/recomb2022.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/John-Chodera-at-Charite-Berlin.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/recomb2022.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/John-Chodera-at-Charite-Berlin.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/recomb2022.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/John-Chodera-at-Charite-Berlin.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/recomb2022.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/John-Chodera-at-Charite-Berlin.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/recomb2022.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/John-Chodera-at-Charite-Berlin.jpg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-12adc5d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"12adc5d\" data-element_type=\"section\" id=\"cowen\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ceb8f37\" data-id=\"ceb8f37\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e7be895 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e7be895\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cs.tufts.edu\/~cowen\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"240\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/recomb2022.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/lenore.png?fit=240%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/recomb2022.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/lenore.png?w=500&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/recomb2022.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/lenore.png?resize=240%2C300&amp;ssl=1 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ce82822\" data-id=\"ce82822\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-63e3693 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"63e3693\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Lenore Cowen<\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Lenore J.

In particular, he has greatly advanced our understanding of the dynamic and cell-type specific function of transcriptional regulatory elements. He developed transformative technologies that allowed identification and characterization of these sequences in the genome. As an investigator of the NIH ENCODE consortium, he led the production of first maps of transcriptional regulatory sequences in the human and mouse genomes. He also made groundbreaking discoveries about the chromatin architecture. He found that the mammalian genome is partitioned into magabase-sized topologically associating domains (TADs), which serve to constrain the chromatin interactions between enhancers and promoters. By producing and characterizing high-resolution maps of chromatin contacts in the human genome during stem cell differentiation and across diverse cell types, he further elucidated general principles of chromatin organization and annotated target genes of enhancers. In recent years, Dr. Ren also developed single cell multiomic approaches for analysis of cell\u2019s epigenome.
