Dr. Yoav Gilad is a Professor at the Department of Human Genetics at the University of Chicago. His research focuses on studying genetic and regulatory differences between humans and our close evolutionary relatives. The goal of the research is to identify the genetic basis of human-specific traits, including genetic variation that underlies higher susceptibility to certain diseases and disorders in humans than in other primates.
