Dr. Mary Lauren Benton is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Baylor University's College of Engineering and Computer Science. She holds a Ph.D. and M.S. in Biomedical Informatics from Vanderbilt University (2020, 2018) and a B.S.I. in Bioinformatics from Baylor University (2015).
- Education: Ph.D. (Vanderbilt, 2020), M.S. (Vanderbilt, 2018), B.S.I. (Baylor, 2015)
Her research focuses on computational biology and gene regulation, particularly how DNA sequences influence genome function and human disease risk through integrated datasets. Recent work explores enhancer-gene interactions, epigenetic mechanisms, and the application of graph neural networks to genomic problems.
Selected publications highlight interdisciplinary trends across genomics (e.g., Cis-regulatory landscapes, CTCF motif accessibility) and computer science (e.g., Dynamic graph attention, Node classification).
