Seth Taylor

Seth Taylor is an Assistant Professor in the Cell Biology & Physiology department at Brigham Young University's College of Life Sciences. He specializes in neuroscience research with a focus on cellular and molecular mechanisms governing neuronal function and diversity.

• Education:
  • BS in Neuroscience, Brigham Young University
  • PhD in Neuroscience, Yale University

Dr. Taylor’s research interests include Confocal Microscopy, Single-cell RNA Sequencing, and Cellular Neuroscience. His work primarily explores the transcriptomic and molecular underpinnings of neuronal identity and function using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model organism. He has contributed extensively to understanding gene expression, RNA splicing, and chromatin remodeling in neurons through high-throughput sequencing techniques.

His recent publications (2021-2025) highlight expertise in:

• Single-cell transcriptomics for neuronal diversity mapping
• C. elegans nervous system molecular profiling
• RNA sequencing methodology optimization
• Transcriptional regulatory networks in neuronal development
• Neurotransmitter signaling in stress and psychiatric models
