Mark Hughes graduated in Biology and Chemistry from St. Johns University followed by a Ph.D. in Molecular Biochemistry at the University of Arizona Medical Center. He continued his training at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston as a postdoctoral fellow with Bert O’Malley, where his pivotal work was published in Science, Nature, Lancet, NEJM, and involved the cloning of the vitamin D and progesterone receptors and characterization of the first mutations found in human gene transcription factors. Mutations in the “tips” of zinc fingers of the vitamin D receptor were identified in the DNA of patients with rickets. These were the first mutations identified in any human gene transcription factor and led to a lead article in Nature. Following this training Hughes completed his M.D. at Baylor College of Medicine, followed by house staff training in Internal Medicine and clinical subspecialty training at Duke University. He then returned as junior faculty to Baylor’s newly formed Genetics Institute. Among his accomplishments was the realization that single cells could be molecularly data mined for diagnostic advantage: This led to a multi-year collaboration with reproductive endocrinologists and embryologists at the Hammersmith and UCLondon; the field of Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis was born. In 1993 Hughes' research was recognized by Science magazine as being one of the "ten most significant advances" in all of science that year; spanning all the physical, biological and mathematical sciences for that year. Hughes’ work has centered on understanding gene expression in the early human embryo. His work on embryonic stem cells was acknowledged along with Ian Wilmut (of Dolly the sheep fame) when Hughes was awarded the “Pioneer in Stem Cell Biology” award. Because of federal funding limitations on embryo diagnostics and stem cell science, he founded the Genesis Genetics Institute where, for 14 years these technologies were provided to patients, in concert with some 370 world-wide human reproductive centers. His company operated full Genetic diagnostic laboratories in 12 countries, with two in the UK and eleven in the USA. Genesis Genetics was acquired in 2016 by CooperSurgical. In January 2023 Dr. Hughes retired to his home in Michigan where he remains an active entrepreneur in the biosciences.
