'''Woodward, Scott R.:''' Scott R. Woodward, PhD, is currently teaching genetics courses as a Lecturer at Utah Valley University. Previously he was the Executive Director of Genomic Discovery at Ancestry.com Prior to his work with Ancestry he was the director of the Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation (SMGF) and a former Professor of Molecular Biology and Microbiology at Brigham Young University. He received his Ph.D. degree in genetics from Utah State University in 1984. He did postdoctoral work in molecular genetics at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute at the University of Utah. While at the University of Utah he discovered a genetic marker used for the identification of carriers and the eventual discovery of the gene for cystic fibrosis. He was also involved with the identification of other gene markers for colon cancer and neurofibromatosis. He joined the faculty at BYU in 1989. While at BYU he was involved with the Seila, Egypt excavation team, directing the genetic and molecular analysis of Egyptian mummies, both from a commoners' cemetery and of the Egyptian Royal mummies. His research interests include the reconstruction of ancient and modern genealogies using DNA techniques with samples from all over the world, the tracing of human population movements by following gene migrations (including both Old and New World populations) and the DNA analysis of ancient manuscripts including the Dead Sea Scrolls. He has been the Scholar in Residence at the BYU Center for Near Eastern Studies in Jerusalem and a visiting professor at Hebrew University. His work at SMGF was focused around building a comprehensive database that includes genetic and genealogical data from over 100,000 individuals from across the entire world with the goal of demonstrating the close connectedness of all people in the world. This work continued at Ancestry.com. His work has been featured both nationally and internationally on numerous programs including Good Morning America, and the Discovery, History and Learning Cha | '''Woodward, Scott R.:''' Scott R.
