Joseph Nadeau

Joseph Nadeau is a Faculty Scientist III at the Graduate School of Biomedical Science and Engineering, University of Maine. He holds a joint affiliation with MaineHealth for his research activities.

Education:

• BA, University of Maine, Orono, ME
• MA, University of Maine, Orono, ME
• PhD, Boston University, Boston, MA
• Postdoctoral Training: Max Planck Institute for Immunogenetics, Tubingen, Germany and Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor

Research Focus: Dr. Nadeau's work centers on genetics and epigenetics, particularly in understanding disease susceptibility inheritance through mouse models. His research explores

• Epigenetic inheritance mechanisms
• Modifier genes in disease progression
• Phenotypic noise in testicular cancer and metabolic diseases
• Comparative genomics across species
• Quantitative trait loci analysis
• Epistatic interactions in complex traits

Publication Trends: His work spans evolutionary genetics (1985), mouse model development (2005), chromosome engineering (2004), and epigenetic inheritance (2017). Key methodologies include gene mapping, phenotypic analysis, and computational genetics.
