Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSelcan Aydın is an Associate Computational Scientist at The Jackson Laboratory with 10 years of experience applying systems genetics and multi-omics integration to unravel how genetic variation shapes gene regulation and cell state transitions. With a PhD from Duke and an M.Sc. in Systems Biology, she blends molecular biology, quantitative genetics, and mathematical modeling to map gene regulatory architecture in neural progenitor cells and dissect the genetics of developmental pace and palate morphogenesis. Her postdoctoral work in the Munger Lab combined high-throughput multi-omics and computational tool development to probe pluripotency and complex trait genetics across model systems from yeast to mouse. Selcan is known for translating large, heterogeneous datasets into mechanistic insights and for mentoring interdisciplinary teams, bringing a rare mix of wet-lab understanding and rigorous computational rigor. Based in Bar Harbor, Maine, she favors collaborative, data-driven research and has a track record of high-impact publications that link genetic variation to developmental mechanisms.
