Stephen Scherer

Professor Scherer’s research includes understanding the composition of the genome for studies of genetic disease built upon three themes: (1) gene copy number- and structural- variation (CNV or SV) in the human genome, (2) determining the genetic architecture underlying autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and (3) developing technology, infrastructure, and capacity for translational genomic research.
