Biography

Greg Barsh is a Professor Emeritus of Genetics and Member of Bio-X. He has done MD from University of Washington in Medicine (1984),BS from University of California in Biology (1977)and PhD from University of Washington in Genetics of Human Disease (1984).He is interested in mouse coat color genetics stems from mutations that cause a back-and-forth switch between pigment granules characteristic of red hair, to those characteristic of black, brown, or blond hair. Studies of these pigment type-switching mutations have identified one set of pathways important for body weight regulation, and another set of pathways implicated in neurodegeneration.

Research Intrest

mechanisms that give rise to eye, hair, and skin coloration, both as a tool for studying gene action and interaction
