معرفی
Matt Simon is an Associate Professor in the Department of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry at Yale School of Medicine, with affiliations to the Institute for Biomolecular Design & Discovery and the Center for RNA Science and Medicine. He conducts research at Yale's West Campus, focusing on the biochemical mechanisms of gene regulation involving chromatin and RNA biology.
- PhD in Chemistry, University of California at Berkeley (2006)
- BA in Biochemistry, Tufts University (1999)
His research centers on understanding how chromatin structure and RNA dynamics regulate gene expression. He develops and applies chemical and biochemical tools to probe epigenetic mechanisms, particularly those involving long non-coding RNAs and histone modifications. His lab has pioneered methods such as TimeLapse-seq and STL-seq to study the temporal dynamics of RNA transcription and processing.
His recent publications span high-impact journals including Nature, Molecular Cell, and Nucleic Acids Research, with research themes in chromatin modifications, RNA folding, transcriptional regulation, and RNA-protein interactions. These works highlight a consistent focus on the intersection of chemical biology and molecular genetics.
