Dr. Gregory's research applies the experience he gained from leading the mapping of the mouse genome and the sequencing of human chromosome 1 for the Human Genome Project to elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying multi-factorial diseases. His primary area of research involves the identification of the genetic, genomic, and epigenetic factors that give rise to the development of chronic complex disease. Dr. Gregory is Director of the Duke Epigenetics and Epigenomics Program and Director of the Duke Bioinformatics Workshop, a forum for researchers to gain in-depth experience using publicly available molecular genomics databases.
