Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexandre Marand is an assistant professor at the University of Michigan who studies chromatin and transcriptional regulation using an interdisciplinary mix of computational, genetic, and molecular biology approaches. With nine years of experience spanning a PhD in plant genetics and postdoctoral training funded by NSF and an NIH K99/R00 award, he blends deep genomics and epigenomics expertise with hands-on molecular work in model and crop systems. His lab focuses on how chromatin states control gene expression, translating high-throughput bioinformatics into testable genetic hypotheses. Based in Ann Arbor, he brings a track record of converting large-scale sequencing data into mechanistic insights, and his background in TALEN development and crop-focused projects hints at an applied bent toward improving plant traits.
