Praveen Sethupathy is a geneticist, science author and journalist. He is a professor of physiological genomics and Chair of the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the Cornell University.[1][2] He currently serves as one of the board directors at The BioLogos Foundation where he holds discussions on the relationship between science and religion.[3]

Education

Sethupathy received his BA degree from Cornell University and a PhD in genomics from the University of Pennsylvania. He completed his post-doctoral fellowship at the National Human Genome Research Institute under the direction of the then Director of National Institue of Health Dr. Francis Collins, after which he moved to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Genetics in 2011. He was selected by Genome Technology as one of the nation's top 25 rising young investigators in genomics in that same year.[1][4] He was recruited to Cornell University, where he became a frequent research collaboration with Nicolas Buchon.[5]

Career

Science

Sethupathy currently leads a research lab which is focused on genome-scale and molecular approaches to understanding physiology and human disease. He researches microRNA[6] and the broader genetic factors related to diabetes, Crohn's disease, fibrolamellar carcinoma (a rare type of liver cancer),[7] short-term memory,[8] diabetes,[9] and gut epithelium.

Professor

Sethupathy returned to the Cornell University as an Associate Professor where he studied. He teaches courses on various scientific topics such as stem cells, cancer and animal physiology.[2][10] He also holds courses on the relationship between science and religion (particularly concerning Christianity), evolution theory and how to reconcile it with faith.[3][4]

Personal life

Sethupathy is a Christian. He currently serves as a board director at The BioLogos Foundation, which is an organization that promotes harmony between science and religion.[3] He believes in evolutionary creationism (also called theistic evolution) and considers there to be no conflicts between science and religion.[3][4][11] He has also served on the advisory board of the Dialogue on Science, Ethics, and Religion in the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)[12] and has also spoken in the Veritus Forum.[13]
