Speaker

My background in computational biology (David Baker) and structural biology using cryo-electron microscopy (Eva Nogales) results in a scientific approach that seeks to understand biology with a quantitative perspective, relying on biophysical approaches and protein design. Since my lab opened in 2019, we have worked to understand how transposons reshape genomes and how these can be repurposed as genome-editing tools. Our main focus is on programmable transposons; we seek to understand their diversity, regulation, and rules for reprogramming. In 2023 my lab moved from Cornell University (Ithaca, NY) to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital (Memphis, TN).
