Prof. C. Thomas Caskey and Prof. Arthur L. Beaudet are elected member of National Academy of Sciences. They are well known for identifying genetic basis of many major inheritable diseases (such as Fragile X, myotonic dystrophy, autism, schizophrenia and others). They serve as editor for a lot of important journals such as Science, Circulation, Journal of Clinical Investigation, and Dr. Caskey is also the current editor-in-chief for the Annual Review of Medicine. Besides research, they also did a lot of transitional works. Dr. Caskey previously served as Senior Vice President, Human Genetics and Vaccines Discovery at Merck Research Laboratories and as President of the Merck Genome Research Institute, and his personal identification patent is the basis of worldwide application for forensic science. Dr. Beaudet was the first in the US to introduce array comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) into the clinical lab, and thus has played a leadership role in the transformative impact of this technology on clinical genetics.
