Read less Read more… My long-term goal is to obtain the necessary skills to develop an independent research program focused on studying the effects of genetic and environmental variation on cell-fate decisions using a multi-disciplinary approach that combines wet-lab experiments with mathematical modeling. Towards this goal, I have sought interdisciplinary training in molecular biology, computational and systems biology, and quantitative genetics. As a postdoc in Munger lab, I aim to complement and enhance these skills by training in mouse genetics and developmental biology. As a graduate student working with Drs. Nick Buchler and Paul Magwene, I characterized the effects of natural genetic variation in budding yeast on growth dynamics in response to hyper-osmotic stress. I showed that this phenotype was highly variable in our genetically diverse collection of yeast strains, and then applied bulk segregant analysis to identify genetic variants that mediated this variable response. In my postdoctoral research, I have started exploring GxE interactions in a higher model organism (mouse) within embryonic stem cells. In addition to research, I am actively involved in teaching, mentoring and scientific outreach efforts at JAX. Outside of lab I enjoy the outdoors by hiking, snowshoeing and gardening!

Read less Read more… I worked as a pharmacist following my undergraduate education. Shortly in my clinical work, I was frustrated with the progress of pharmaceuticals in the field of neuropsychiatric disorders. I was especially moved by my friend's struggles with limerence, a disorder that is still undiagnosable and with very little literature surrounding it. I was motivated to go into a research-based program in Boston; there I received my Master's degree in pharmacology and drug development. I got immersed in the field of neurogenetics by my previous mentor Dr. Leon Reijmers and I have decided that's the type of training I want to focus on. I got accepted to the Tufts-JAX collaborative Ph.D. program in neuroscience and I have never made a better choice than to join this program. Under the mentorship of Dr. Vivek Kumar, I feel I will get the training I need to ask and answer critical questions that can lead to better drug targets for neuropsychiatric disorders with unmet needs. My project is involved in understanding the causal mechanisms involved in age dependent hyperactivity disorder and its relationship to cortical cell death.

Read less Read more… I am driven by the stories microbes tell in order to live. My goal in research is to understand the functional diversity of the human microbiome by developing computational tools to facilitate the characterization of less studied species, strains and genes. My academic and research training allow me to probe this fundamental microbiological question using the wealth of publicly available 'omics data using computational methods. As an undergraduate at Bard College I majored in both biology and computer science and as a Ph.D. student in Dr. Deborah Hogan’s laboratory at Dartmouth College I studied microbial interactions between bacterial and fungal opportunistic pathogens. Now, as a postdoc in Dr. Julia Oh's lab, my focus is centered on deciphering molecular mechanisms of microbial and host interactions within health- and disease-promoting microbiomes, with a focus on the opportunistic pathogen Staphylococcus epidermidis. Specifically, I aim to develop and test the utility of a machine-learning model to identify virulence-associated transcriptional signals, validate the predictive utility of the model using gene knock-down experiments, and apply an investigation of gene essentiality to S. epidermidis behavior in polymicrobial co-culture.

While the use of classical inbred strains has enabled significant genetic research, these strains do not adequately represent the genetic diversity amongst humans. Multiparent populations like the collaborative cross mice and outbred populations like the diversity outbred mice allow us to model human diversity and better understand the genetic architecture of complex traits. Genetic variation itself, however, can also be considered a complex trait that arises from mutation, recombination, and chromosome assortment. Using diverse mouse strains and computational tools, I am investigating how candidate genes can alter mutation rates and resulting population genetic variability.

Here I have been engineering Staphylococcus epidermidis, a ubiquitous skin commensal, to detect and kill pathogens, as well as secrete therapeutics. Additionally, I have been conducting a sizable clinical metagenome study investigating the relationship between aging, health, and the microbiome. This study should help us understand how we can leverage the microbiome to promote healthy aging, combat chronic illnesses, and prevent infections commonly acquired by older adults in healthcare settings. Finally, I have been exploring the use of human skin explants and stem cell derived skin “organoids” to model human skin microbiome interactions. This will allow us and others to test engineered skin microbiome therapeutics, and better identify mechanisms by which the skin microbiome modulates health and disease.

Utilizing high performance computing, we combine RNA sequencing and protein analysis in a proteogenomics workflow. The Jackson Laboratory for Genomic performs both long-read sequencing (Pacific Biosciences platform) and short-read sequencing (Illumina platform) on oncology patient samples. Our hybrid sequencing approach allows for generating a highly accurate cancer transcriptome upon which we can explore multiple biological mechanisms, such as RNA splicing and chromosomal rearrangements, leading to cancer specific mRNA isoforms. Mass spectrometry identification of isoform specific peptides aids in selecting candidates for validation in the laboratory. A central goal of my research is to expand current cancer treatment options and provide novel therapeutic agents with improved tumor specificity.

Hilda Opoku Frempong Predoc Bar Harbor, ME The Dumont Lab Bioinformatics Complex Traits Computational Biology Developmental Disorders	Opoku Frempong Hilda Opoku Frempong	Bar Harbor, ME	Exploring Genetic recombination and Meiotic dysregulation Read less Read more… During meiosis, maternal and paternal chromosomes undergo exchanges by homologous recombination. This is essential for fertility and contributes to genome evolution. In many eukaryotes, sites of meiotic recombination, also called hotspots, are regions of accessible chromatin, but in many vertebrates, their location follows a distinct pattern and is specified by PR domain-containing protein 9 (PRDM9). The control of the recombination landscape by PRDM9 has many implications in terms of the molecular mechanisms underlying the interaction between homologues during meiotic prophase and genetic diversity. My project seeks to explore molecular mechanisms in genetic recombination rate and meiotic dysregulation using mouse hybrids.

Read less Read more… The broad goal of my research is to understand causes of infertility. Currently, I am studying meiotic recombination rate. Too few recombination events leads to infertility, therefore proper recombination is essential for gamete production and thus species survival. It is well established that recombination rate varies widely across species, individuals, and even within an individual's gamete pool. However, the exact loci and mechanisms controlling these variations are largely unknown. I am working to identify the loci responsible for recombination rate variation, as well as working to understand the exact relationship between recombination rate and fertility.
