She has a secondary appointment in the Center for RNA Science and Therapeutics. She joined the Department of Genetics and Genomes Sciences at Case Western Reserve University as an Assistant Professor in February 2017. She was then awarded an NIH K99/R00 Pathway to Independence grant to delve further into RNA-mediated pediatric neurological disease mechanisms in the lab of Gene Yeo at University of California, San Diego. Gleeson, Ashleigh discovered over 20 novel genetic causes of disease, many of which occurred in proteins that bind to RNA. Gleeson, focused on elucidating the genetic cause, and molecular mechanisms, underlying recessive pediatric neurological disease.
She then continued her training as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, San Diego, and Howard Hughes Medical Institute under the guidance of Dr. Maike Sander, where she studied transcription factor-mediated mechanisms of cell fate determination in the pancreas. Research Institute for Children's HealthĪshleigh Schaffer graduated with a BS in Genetics from University of Wisconsin-Madison and went on to earn her PhD from the University of California, Irvine under the mentorship of Dr.MS/MA in Genetic Counseling & Bioethics Courses.MS/MA in Genetic Counseling & Bioethics.
