معرفی
Steven Munger is an Associate Professor at the Graduate School of Biomedical Science and Engineering within the University of Maine and a faculty member at the Jackson Laboratory. His research integrates computational and experimental approaches in systems genetics to study gene regulation during early development and environmental exposure effects.
- Doctorate from Duke University (2010, Genetics)
- Bachelor's from University of Michigan (1999, Biology)
Research Interests focus on systems genetics, bioinformatics, stem cells, and quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis. His lab leverages genetically diverse mouse populations (Diversity Outbred and Collaborative Cross) to dissect gene-environment interactions affecting cell fate decisions and protein networks.
Publications span proteomics, stem cell biology, and systems genetics, with recent work on multi-omics integration in embryonic stem cells and genetic buffering mechanisms. Key contributions include studies on cis/trans QTLs and stoichiometric buffering of protein abundance.
- NIH R35 MIRA Grant (2019)
- NCI R33 Award (2020)
- R24 Grant (2021)
The Munger Lab emphasizes collaboration, team science, and training, with projects involving postdocs, graduate students, and interns.
