McIntyre Lab
Led by Lauren M McIntyre · Molecular Genetics and Microbiology
What we study
The lab studies how genes, gene expression, and the environment interact to affect organisms, using computational methods and model organisms like fruit flies. They develop tools to analyze large datasets from genomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics.
