Biography

Research in the Dudley lab focuses on two areas: developing new methods to predict an organism’s response to genetic or environmental perturbations and deciphering the novel biology uncovered by applying them. The genotype-phenotype problem is among the most fundamental in biology. Given the complete genome sequence of an individual, can we predict what traits they will exhibit? The emerging field of systems genetics seeks to solve this problem by integrating the principles and technologies of systems biology with genetic analysis. Together with our collaborators, we are applying systems genetics to understand complex traits, such as the predisposition to disease and response to therapeutics. Our work is conducted in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which was the first fully sequenced eukaryotic organism and has been key to the development of every major “omic” tool to date. Below are brief descriptions of some of our research interests and ongoing projects.
