'''John "Keoni" S. K. Kauwe III''' (born 1980) has been announced to become the [[List of presidents of Brigham Young University–Hawaii|11th]] president of [[Brigham Young University–Hawaii]], beginning July 1, 2020. He previously served as the dean of graduate studies at [[Brigham Young University]] (BYU). He is a researcher who specializes in the genetics of [[Alzheimer's disease]].
The oldest of six children, Kauwe was born in Provo, Utah to John Sai Keong Kauwe Jr. and Rhonda Beth King Kauwe. He was raised in Orem, Utah and Hawaii, graduating from [[Molokaʻi High School|Molokai High School]] (formerly Molokai High and Intermediate School) in [[Hoʻolehua, Hawaii|Ho’olehua]], Hawaii in 1996. He earned his Bachelor’s degree in molecular biology (1999) and Master’s degree in population genetics (2003) at BYU Provo. From 1999 – 2001, he served as a missionary for [[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] in the Japan Fukuoka Mission. He received a doctorate degree in evolution, ecology and population biology in 2007 from [[Washington University in St. Louis]] and he completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Alzheimer’s disease genetics at the [[Washington University School of Medicine]] in 2008. Kauwe joined the faculty at BYU in 2009.

John "Keoni" Sai Keong Kauwe III (born April 10, 1980) was appointed the 11th president of Brigham Young University-Hawaii (BYU-H), effective July 1, 2020.[1][2] Kauwe served previously as the chair of the Department of Biology and as the dean of Graduate Studies at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.[3] [4] He is a researcher who specializes in the genetics of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Background

The oldest of six children, Kauwe was born in Provo, Utah to John Sai Keong Kauwe Jr. and Rhonda Beth King Kauwe. He was raised in Orem, Utah and Hawaii, graduating from Molokai High School (formerly Molokai High and Intermediate School) in Ho’olehua, Hawaii in 1996. He earned his Bachelor’s degree in molecular biology (1999) and Master’s degree in population genetics (2003) at BYU Provo. From 1999 – 2001, he served as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Japan Fukuoka Mission. He received a doctorate degree in evolution, ecology and population biology in 2007 from Washington University in St. Louis and he completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Alzheimer’s disease genetics at the Washington University School of Medicine in 2008. Kauwe joined the faculty at BYU in 2009. He obtained the rank of Full Professor in 2018.[5][6]

Leadership

Kauwe has been the principal investigator on two multicenter grants from the National Institutes of Health Institute on Aging that have included international and multi-institutional collaborations.[7][8] In 2014, he served as the scientific lead for the international Alzheimer’s disease Dream Challenge, a computational crowdsourced project to assess the capabilities of predicting cognitive outcomes in Alzheimer’s disease based on high dimensional, publicly available genetic 215 and structural imaging data. Over 3000 submissions were received and more than 500 scientists worldwide from more than 50 institutions and 10 countries participated in the challenge. This project, an invaluable first-of-its kind contribution, provided a snapshot of both the strengths and limitations in big data analytics of AD research.[9]

As Chair of the BYU Department of Biology, Dr. Kauwe was responsible for 40 full and part time faculty and staff. The department included more than 800 undergraduate students in 4 majors and 30 graduate students in two master’s programs and a Ph.D. program.[10][11] As Dean of BYU Graduate Studies, Dr. Kauwe oversaw more than 2500 students in 90 graduate programs in eleven campus colleges.[12]

Research

Dr. Kauwe’s professional focus has been primarily studying  Alzheimer’s disease genetics using  a variety of novel study designs and approaches.  He has published more than 100 peer-reviewed papers in the past decade including publications in the New England Journal of Medicine, Nature, Nature Genetics, PNAS, and  PLoS  Genetics[13]. He is a Senior Editor for the journal  Alzheimer’s & Dementia and has been a panelist for the 2015 National Institutes of Health Summit on Alzheimer’s disease Research.[5] He currently holds a position on the Scientific Program Committee for the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference.[5] He has had continuous funding from the National Institutes of Health National Institute on Aging since 2012.[7] [8]

His recent  work in linking the Utah Population Database and Cache County Studies and developing reliable methods for pedigree identification has  led to important findings about the relative risk for Alzheimer’s disease and novel factors for Alzheimer’s disease resilience.[14][15][16][17][18]

Since 2013 he has served as the Principal Investigator of Rheumatic Relief, a comprehensive program for public health education, screening, and  genetics research  designed to prevent and reduce suffering caused by rheumatic heart disease  in Samoa.[19] The program has also provided training to indigenous medical professionals.

He also conducts research on the genetics of other human traits and diseases (height, biomarkers of inflammation) as well as work on de novo genome assembly and population genetics of marine fish, including bonefish, giant trevally, and bluefin trevally.[25][26][27][28]

Service

Kauwe has an ongoing relationship with Molokai High School, including funded projects to provide  scientific mentoring experiences and resources to teachers and students.[29][30][31] He also speaks frequently to communities and academic organizations that serve underrepresented populations, including recent engagements in Samoa, Hawaii, and Alaska.[5]

Kauwe has mentored over 100 undergraduates in his research lab.[5] His research efforts have been conducted with an intentional focus on outreach to populations that are underrepresented in biomedical science6.  

Personal

Kauwe married Monica Shana Mortensen in 2003 and they are the parents of five children.  Kauwe is a direct descendant of Kaleohano who was among those baptized by George Q. Cannon in Hawaii in the early 1850s.
