Biography
Gerald Crabtree is a professor of Pathology, Developmental Biology. He is a member of Bio-X, Cardiovascular Institute, Stanford Cancer Institute and faculty fellow, Stanford ChEM-H. He is interested in the role of chromatin regulation in development and human cancer. Recent studies have show that over 20% of all human cancers have mutations in the subunits of an ATP-dependent chromatin regulatory complex. The genes behave as tumor suppressors and sometimes as oncogenes. We hope to understand the fundamental mechanisms used by these complex to prevent cancer.
