[3] The Khavari Laboratory uses multiomic and computational approaches to study stem cell differentiation, cancer, and the genomics of common polygenic human diseases.
[6] Khavari joined the Stanford faculty in 1993,[7] and began service as Chief of Dermatology at the VA Palo Alto Healthcare System.
[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.
[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.
