Hume Akahori Stroud, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Endowed Title W. W. Caruth, Jr. Scholar in Biomedical Research School Medical School Department Neuroscience | Green Ctr for Reprod Bio Scncs Graduate Programs Genetics, Development and Disease, Neuroscience Biography Hume Stroud received his B.A. from Cornell University. He completed his Ph.D. at the University of California, Los Angeles, where he worked with Dr. Steven E. Jacobsen to study the epigenetic regulation of transposons in plants. He then performed his postdoctoral research at Harvard Medical School where he worked with Dr. Michael E. Greenberg to study transcriptional programs controlling neuronal development. In 2021, he joined UT Southwestern as an Assistant Professor. The Stroud lab investigates epigenetic regulation in nervous system development, health, and disease.
