Job title: 
Assistant Professor in Residence, Molecular & Cell Biology
Bio/CV: 

Research Fields: Evolutionary Biology and Phylogenetics, Gene Expression and Regulation, Genomics and Genetics, Machine Learning and Algorithms, Network and Systems Biology, Precision Medicine/Health

DE Student: ScarlethChalen Ulloa, Marissa Zintel

PhD Students: Claire LeBlanc

Research interests: 

The Staller Lab combines experiments, computation and theory to study gene regulation. The group is initially focused on how transcription factors activate gene expression in yeast and human cells. We use high throughput methods and machine learning to study the relationship between protein sequence and function. We are interested in the different types of activation and the evolution of transcription factors.
