(Redirected from Paul A. Khavari)

Paul A. Khavari is the Carl J. Herzog Professor[1] at the Stanford University School of Medicine and the Founding Co-Director of the Stanford Program in Epithelial Biology.[2] He is an elected member of the National Academy of Medicine.[3]

The Khavari Laboratory uses multiomic and computational approaches to study stem cell differentiation, cancer, and the genomics of common polygenic human diseases.

Education

[edit]

Khavari studied biology and history at Stanford University then earned an MD at Yale School of Medicine.[4] He did research at the Brigham and Women's Hospital[4] and Harvard Medical School before undertaking Dermatology residency training at Yale.[5] He completed PhD studies in the laboratory of Gerald Crabtree at the Stanford University School of Medicine.[6]

Academic career

[edit]

Khavari joined the Stanford faculty in 1993,[7] and began service as Chief of Dermatology at the VA Palo Alto Healthcare System.[7][8] In 1999, he co-founded the Stanford Program in Epithelial Biology with Dr. Tony Oro and has served as Co-Director since.[9] In 2010, he was appointed Chair of the Stanford University School of Medicine Department of Dermatology,[10] a leading dermatology department globally. He was one of three Stanford faculty members elected to the Institute of Medicine (now National Academy of Medicine) in 2014.[11][1]

Research in the Khavari laboratory focuses on genome regulation, signaling, noncoding RNAs,[12] and innovating new human tissue genetic models, with a special focus on the cutaneous epidermis. The lab accomplished the first genetic corrections of human skin tissue,[13] defined the minimal oncogenic gene set needed to transform normal human tissues into cancer,[14] and identified the kinetics of human malignant transformation using novel human tissue cancer models.[15] The Khavari group also identified new essential roles for a number of regulators in epidermal homeostasis, including ZNF750, MAF, MAFB, PRMT1, CSNK1A1, EHF, MPZL3, FDXR, TINCR, and ACTL6A.[16] It uncovered new regulators and effectors of Ras GTPases, including small noncoding snoRNAs as direct Ras-binders that modulate its function and mTORC2 as a new direct Ras downstream effector critical for the pro-proliferation impacts of Ras signaling.[17] The lab defined two major classes of genomic enhancers[18] in dynamic gene regulation and used multiomics and deep learning approaches to decode the combinatorial cis-regulatory DNA motif lexicon that drives epidermal differentiation.[19] The lab has innovated a number of technologies, including single cell perturb-ATAC-seq,[20] RNA protein interaction detection (RAPID),[21] RNA-protein microarray hybridization,[22] and mosaic human skin tissue models.[23] In cancer studies, the Khavari lab identified and characterized tumor specific keratinocytes in cutaneous squamous cell cancer,[24] characterized a new tumor suppressor pathway,[25] and defined a new sunlight induced oncogene in skin cancer.[26]
