Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Emily Dykhuizen. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Emily C. Dykhuizen is a Professor in the Borch Department of Medicinal Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology at Purdue University. She specializes in chemical biology and chromatin biology. Dykhuizen's research focuses on understanding the role of chromatin structure in cancer development and progression using a combination of chemical and biochemical techniques. She has made significant contributions to elucidating the function of chromatin remodeling complexes and their impact on cell fate transitions during cancer progression and therapy resistance. Dykhuizen's current projects include developing inhibitors for chromatin-binding domains relevant to cancer chemoresistance, and conducting proteomic analyses to study chromatin-modifying complexes, particularly SWI/SNF complexes, which are mutated in 20% of human malignancies. Her lab accepts students and collaborates on various projects involving high throughput screening and the identification of histone modifications in relation to chromatin regulation and cancer progression.
