Michael Meers

Dr. Michael Meers is revolutionizing practices in the field of genetics at Washington University in St. Louis, where he serves as an Assistant Professor. His pioneering research delves into the intricate interactions between transcription factors and chromatin landscapes, aiming to elucidate how these interactions dictate developmental and cellular reprogramming outcomes. By developing state-of-the-art epigenomics techniques, Dr. Meers is able to map transcription factor binding and chromatin structure with remarkable precision. His research interests are broad and encompass areas such as prostatic neoplasms, lys, chromatin, developmental genetics, histones, nucleosomes, epigenomics, and androgen receptors. Dr. Meers is particularly focused on the role of chromatin in developmental genetics, a field in which he has made significant contributions. His affiliation with the Division of Biology and Biomedical Sciences (DBBS) and the Center of Regenerative Medicine underscores his commitment to advancing knowledge and innovation in these areas. Dr. Meers is actively seeking postdoctoral research trainees who are eager to explore the frontiers of genetics and epigenomics. He is also available to mentor PhD and MSTP students, offering guidance and support as they navigate their academic and research endeavors. His dedication to mentorship and collaboration makes him a valuable asset to the academic community at Washington University. Through his work, Dr. Meers continues to push the boundaries of what is known about chromatin and transcription factors, contributing to a deeper understanding of genetic regulation and its implications for health and disease. His efforts not only advance scientific knowledge but also hold promise for the development of novel therapeutic strategies.
