   Mr. Corneveaux is a doctoral student in Dr. Matthew Huentelman's laboratory of the Neurogenomics Division.His primary research interest is understanding the genetics and neurological processes that drives human memory.Through elucidating the underlying biological framework that leads to memory formation and consolidation, Mr. Corneveaux aims to leverage his findings to develop new therapeutics for those devastating neurodegenerative diseases for which memory loss is a key factor.He was a member of an international team that recently published two new genetic associations with memory performance in healthy individuals.
   
   In addition to his work on memory, Mr. Corneveaux is working with Dr. Huentelman's team to identify biomarkers for rapidly assessing an infant's risk for developing autism.
   ...
   Mr. Corneveaux has also performed extensive genetic data analyses for an international collaborative effort to identify new genes that contribute to the four main types of hearing impairment.He is also working closely with Dr. Huentelman and other members of the Neurogenomics division to develop new applications of next generation DNA sequencing technologies.
   
   A summer internship brought Mr. Corneveaux to TGen in the summer of 2005 while enrolled as an undergraduate at Arizona State University.While at Arizona State, he served as the founding Editor-in-Chief of the Arizona State University chapter of The Triple Helix, the international undergraduate journal of science, society and law, and also was a student researcher in the School of Life Science's esteemed SOLUR program.He received his B.S. in molecular biosciences and biotechnology from Arizona State in 2007.Today, Mr. Corneveaux is a Ph.D. student in the molecular and cellular biology program at Arizona State University.

   Jason Corneveaux's Profile
   ...
   Jason J. Corneveaux
   
   Molecular Biotechnology
   
   Growing up in the rugged mountains of Utah, Mr. Corneveaux learned to appreciate and wonder at the endless beauty of nature through countless backcountry excursions with his father.Mr. Corneveaux originally came to ASU to pursue a degree in computer systems engineering, but his studies were cut short when family needs called him away.In his time away from ASU, Mr. Corneveaux witnessed the state of Arizona take bold strides to become a top player in the biotech industry, and believed that the state's ambitious goals were of vital importance.As such, he decided to change his major to molecular biotechnology and return to ASU in order to play a role in this exciting future.
   
   In the summer of 2005, right before returning to ASU, Mr. Corneveaux was accepted into a prestigious internship program at the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) in Phoenix.During his first few months he worked primarily on a project aimed at ultra-high resolution identification and characterization chromosomal copy number changes, from which he was awarded best poster presentation at the concluding Intern Symposium.Mr. Corneveaux also worked on several other projects including developing a genotype calling algorithm and a study that identified two genes highly implicated in human episodic memory function.Jason is an author on two manuscripts detailing these findings-one has recently been accepted to the journal Science and the other is under review by the journal Nature.
   
   After completion of his summer internship, Mr. Corneveaux was hired as a research associate with Dr. Dietrich Stephan's Neurogenomics lab at TGen.
   ...
   In 2006, Mr. Corneveaux was awarded a scholarship by the Biostatistics Department at the University of Washington to attend the 2006 Summer Institute in Statistical Genetics.He was also named one of three Affymetrix Scholars for his exemplary work at TGen.In addition, Arizona State University awarded him an undergraduate research fellowship in the School of Life Science's esteemed SOLUR program for the '06-'07 school year.He is currently working closely with his mentor Dr. Matthew Huentelman on research aimed at identifying the genetic factors implicated in devastating neurological disorders including Alzheimer's Disease, autism, Parkinson's Disease, and more.The overall goals of Mr. Corneveaux's research are to identify and characterize genetic variation in order to quickly diagnose, treat, and soon cure neurological diseases.After graduating with his B.S., Mr. Corneveaux will pursue a PhD in neuroscience and biotechnology.
