معرفی
Jason H Brickner serves as Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine and holds a concurrent professorship in Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences. His research is anchored at the Simpson Querrey Institute for Epigenetics and Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Education:
- PhD, Stanford University (1998)
Dr. Brickner's pioneering work focuses on epigenetic mechanisms, chromatin dynamics, and nuclear architecture. His laboratory investigates transcriptional memory inheritance and develops genomic tools like ChEC-seq2 to map protein-DNA interactions at nuclear pore complexes. This research bridges molecular genetics, biochemistry, and epigenetics to uncover fundamental gene regulation principles.
Recent publications reveal a strong trajectory in epigenetic inheritance mechanisms and chromatin mapping technologies. His work integrates yeast genetics with human disease models, emphasizing nuclear transport systems and transcriptional kinetics across molecular biology and genomics disciplines.
Scientific Awards:
- Soretta and Henry Shapiro Research Professor in Molecular Biology, Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences (2014)
- Young Scholar in Biomedical Research, W.M. Keck Foundation (2009)
- Baldwin Scholar for Biomedical Research, Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences (2007)
Dr. Brickner maintains active research leadership through the Simpson Querrey Institute for Epigenetics, directing epigenetic methodology development while mentoring trainees. His grant portfolio supports innovative chromatin research despite no external industry relationships being reported for 2024.
The laboratory operates at the intersection of cancer biology and epigenetics within Northwestern's integrated research ecosystem, leveraging resources from both the Feinberg School of Medicine and Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences.
