Popp, 34, is now a graduate of the University of Washington School of Medicine’s MD-PhD degree program and a pathology resident at Mass General Brigham in Boston. While at UW, he helped develop a new technology with Doug Fowler, PhD, a researcher in the UW School of Medicine’s Department of Genome Sciences, and Jill Johnsen, MD, a researcher in the Division of Hematology and Oncology and a hematologist at UW Medicine, to decode one of the genes that causes hemophilia and find all the possible variants in it.

How can different molecular measurements enhance our understanding of membrane proteins and the genetic diseases caused by their dysfunction? In this episode, we explain how membrane proteins relay environmental information to cells, focusing on channels that gate ions and molecules.

17 December 2025

How can we use genomic technologies to tackle blood diseases? In this episode, we explain the role of genetic variants in blood disorders and how genomics approaches, such as gene editing can help cure these diseases.

Olivia Zhang recently obtained her Ph.D. in Chemistry and Chemical Biology from Harvard University in Dr. Brian Liau’s Lab. Her research focused on understanding chemical and genetic mechanisms to regulate the LSD1-HDAC1/2-CoREST (LHC) repressor complex. In particular, she investigated the mechanism of cancer hotspot mutations in the E3 ligase KBTBD4 in promoting the degradation of CoREST. Using deep mutational scanning and a diverse array of biochemical and cell based assays, her work along with extensive collaborations reveal the mutational landscape...moreof the KBTBD4 hotspot that can promote neomorphic protein-protein interactions that drive subsequent protein degradation. Her work aims to address how we can use genetic methods to uncover protein-protein interactions that can inform therapeutic applications

Yuta Yamamoto is an Instructor of the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Stanford. He completed a postdoc training at the Ashely lab at Stanford. His research focuses on decoding genetic variants associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy using scalable functional genomics.

Nisha Kamath obtained her Ph.D. in Pathology/Immunology from Case Western Reserve University under the mentorship of Dr. Kenneth Matreyek. Her thesis project involved using deep mutational scanning and targeted phenotypic assays to understand how variants within the calcium-binding STIM1 cEF-hand domain affect its structure and function. She is currently pursuing a short-term postdoc within the same lab, applying phenotypic assays she developed during her doctoral training to understand the effect of protein variants on genes related to epilepsy.
