Open life sciences

Name Research topic(s) of interest and/or competence

Title or short description (2-3 sentences) of initial project idea

John N. Parker

I am a sociologist of science with expertise in how to best create the kinds of organizations, groups, and social interactions that best facilitate creative interdisciplinary research. My interest is in joining a team to help them plan how they might best organize themselves for interdisciplinary success.

 

Biswa Sahu

Cancer epigenetics, gene expression control, enhancer malfunction and epigenome reprogramming by transcription factors, next-generation sequencing and single cell multomics

Understand the role of non-genetic mechanisms such as enhancer and epigenome reprogramming in cancer initiation, progression, metastasis and treatment resistance. Using high resolution enhancer landscapes in accessible chromatin and gene expression data from single cell analysis.
