About
Brandon Carpenter is an Assistant Professor at Kennesaw State University’s Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology within the College of Science and Mathematics. His research focuses on epigenetic inheritance, chromatin states, and their impact on somatic and germline development using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model organism.
- Postdoctoral Fellowship, Emory University
- Ph.D. in Cell and Developmental Biology, University of Michigan
- M.S. in Molecular and Cellular Biology, Appalachian State University
His research investigates how histone methylation and chromatin modifications are inherited across generations, leading to developmental phenotypes like delayed growth, cell migration defects, and sterility. Techniques include genomic experiments, RNAi, fluorescent imaging, and phenotyping in C. elegans.
Brandon mentors graduate and undergraduate researchers, including current students Josh Labus, Sundas Hassan, and alumni such as Sydney Morgan-Benitez (MSIB) and Sandra Nguyen. His lab emphasizes training in both classical and cutting-edge epigenetics methods.
