Research Interests: Epigenetics and gene regulation during development, non-additive control of gene expression by multiple enhancers, genome editing.

Joanna Handzlik
PhD Candidate
joanna.handzlik@und.edu

Joanna uses mathematical models to simulate cellular differentiation during hematopoiesis. She is interested in Dynamical Systems, Machine Learning, and Data Analysis.

Trevor Long
PhD Student
trevor.long@und.edu

Trevor is interested in understanding gene regulation/epigenetics during cell-fate choice. He is exploring functional genomics techniques such as ATAC-Seq and Hi-C and is especially interested in increasing their genomic resolution through capture technologies.

Madison Naylor
Technician
