Maureen Sartor

Maureen Sartor is a Professor in the Department of Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics at the University of Michigan Medical School. Her work bridges computational biology, epigenetics, and cancer research, with recent contributions to understanding environmental toxicant impacts on DNA methylation, HPV-associated head and neck cancers, and neurodegenerative disease mechanisms.

• Key research themes: Epigenetic regulation, bioinformatics modeling, environmental health
• Active clinical trial collaborations in immunotherapy rechallenge and neoadjuvant treatment strategies
• Leadership in cross-species toxicoepigenetic studies and microbiome-immune crosstalk in oral cancer

Recent publications highlight her expertise in:

• Epigenetic age acceleration in ALS and its environmental correlates
• HPV integration mechanisms in oropharyngeal cancer
• Chemical oxidation techniques for piRNA discovery
• Sex-specific epigenetic responses to lead and phthalate exposure

Her interdisciplinary approach connects computational methods with experimental validation across multiple disease models.
