Antony M. Jose

Antony M. Jose is a Professor in the Department of Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics at the University of Maryland, College Park. He leads the Jose Lab, which focuses on understanding regulatory mechanisms in living systems, particularly through RNA-mediated gene regulation in Caenorhabditis elegans. His research explores the origins and limits of regulatory architectures, combining conceptual modeling with experimental approaches.

Jose holds a Ph.D. from Yale University (2005) and completed postdoctoral training at Harvard University (2011). He has received prestigious awards, including the 2019 Graduate Faculty Mentor of the Year and the 2016 National Academy of Sciences Kavli Fellow.

His work spans molecular to population-level regulation, with recent studies addressing intergenerational RNA transport, heritable epigenetic changes, and RNA interference mechanisms. The lab has been continuously funded by NIH (NIGMS) and NSF, enabling interdisciplinary projects that integrate computational modeling and experimental biology.

Jose teaches graduate courses in quantitative modeling and systems biology, and his lab collaborates on projects such as drug toxicity studies and transgenerational inheritance mechanisms. Ongoing research emphasizes systems-level understanding of regulatory dynamics and their evolutionary implications.
