Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolUlrich Braunschweig is a PhD-trained molecular biologist and bioinformatician with 11 years of experience dissecting alternative splicing and chromatin-mediated gene regulation through genome-wide approaches. Based at the University of Toronto in Prof. Benjamin Blencowe’s lab, he has progressed from postdoc to senior research associate leading functional genomics and small-molecule screens and developing methods that bridge wet-lab experiments and computational analysis. His work uniquely combines mechanistic insight into splicing regulation with scalable screen design, enabling discovery of splicing modulators and chromatin factors that influence cell identity. Comfortable at the bench and with large datasets, he brings a pragmatic mix of experimental rigor and informatics fluency to translate complex biology into reproducible assays and actionable hypotheses.
