Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPaul Hook is a genomics-focused postdoctoral researcher and Assistant Editor with a decade of experience developing nanopore sequencing methods at Johns Hopkins. His work spans innovating long-read approaches to map protein-DNA interactions (including 6mA labeling and CUT&RUN adaptations), generating open-chromatin and methylation maps for Telomere-to-Telomere efforts, and building software to analyze raw nanopore signal data. Trained as a PhD geneticist in functional genomics and in vivo validation, he pairs computational analysis with hands-on experimental design and lab management. Based in Baltimore, he has a track record of coordinating collaborations across consortia and translating cutting-edge sequencing chemistry into practical assays, and has also explored unconventional data-storage-in-DNA concepts.
