Verena Laupert

Verena Laupert is a Researcher at the Department of Computational Molecular Biology within the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics (Max Planck Society). Her work bridges computational biology, epigenetics, and genomics, focusing on chromatin organization and gene regulation.

Her research explores transcriptional dynamics in evolutionarily rearranged genomes, mechanisms of promoter repression, and enhancer-target prediction using machine learning. She has contributed to studies on germline chromatin structure, regulatory conflicts, and the interplay between DNA methylation and chromatin domains.

Her publications highlight interdisciplinary approaches, combining Hi-C, long-read sequencing, and computational modeling. Collaborative projects include developmental gene regulation, retrotransposon activity, and computational tools for epigenetic analysis.
