Wei Gordon and Nadav Ahituv

Dr. Gordon is Assistant Professor of Biology at Menlo College. This is her first year teaching at Menlo College. Dr. Gordon went to graduate school to become an undergraduate professor and work at a student-focused institution. Prior to joining faculty, Dr. Gordon taught graduate courses at UC San Francisco and undergraduate courses at University of San Francisco, San Francisco State University, and UC San Diego, as well as elementary courses at San Francisco public schools. At Menlo College, Dr. Gordon is focusing on improving STEM interest in STEM-underrepresented groups and connecting students to their surrounding biotechnology hub.

The Ahituv lab is focused on identifying gene regulatory elements and linking nucleotide variation within them to various phenotypes including morphological differences between species, drug response and human disease. In addition, our lab is developing massively parallel reporter assays (MPRAs) that allow for high-throughput functional characterization of gene regulatory elements and the use of gene regulatory elements as therapeutic targets or disease diagnostic markers.
