Tammy’s path to serve as the Associate Provost of Academic Innovation at Utah Valley University was driven by her love of creating things of value and desire to impact the lives of students. Upon earning her Ph.D., Tammy started her career as a medicinal chemist at GlaxoSmithKilne Pharmaceuticals where she contributed to the development of Promacta, a drug that increases platelet levels in chemotherapy patients. She also designed a molecule that was originally slated for clinical trials but was ultimately commercialized as a tool compound for cancer biologists instead. As a professor she enjoyed the opportunity to collaborate with a rich variety of disciplines to create new courses, programming and experiences that helped students realize their potential and pursue their dreams.

Brad Cairns received his B.S. (Honors) in Chemistry from Lewis and Clark College, his PhD in Cell Biology from Stanford University, and conducted his postdoctoral training at Harvard Medical School (Genetics). He is now Professor and Chair of the Department of Oncological Sciences, an Investigator with HHMI, Chief Academic Officer at Huntsman Cancer Institute and is the Jon M. Huntsman Presidential Endowed Chair in Cancer Research (given by the 2018 Utah Legislature). He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2017 and the Royal Society (London/UK) in 2023.
Dr. Cairns’ lab strives to understand how chromosome and chromatin structure/remodeling regulates gene expression, development and cancer. Dr. Cairns was the first to purify a chromatin remodeling complex (SWI/SNF complex), which unpackages and opens genes within chromosomes to enable their expression – revealing their detailed mechanisms and their dysregulation in cancer. His studies of germline/sperm chromatin revealed the poising of developmental genesfor future expression in the embryo, and his single-cell analysis of human spermatogonial stem cells revealed how chromatin and gene expression mechanisms promote spermatogenesis and proper embryo development. He is committed to training and education, having trained over 28 graduate students and 10 undergraduates, and is the former Director of the University of Utah Molecular Biology graduate program.

He is actively engaged in training the next generation of cancer researchers, having served as the Director of the University of Utah’s PhD program in Molecular Biology and as the Senior Director of Cancer Training and Career Enhancement. In this latter role, he has oversight of HCI’s training programs that serve learners from high school students all the way up to junior faculty. He is particularly proud of the various summer internship programs that provide hands on research experiences for young learners.
