Jamie M. Kramer is a Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Dalhousie University. His research focuses on epigenetics and chromatin regulation, specifically regarding their roles in brain function and neurodevelopmental disorders. He employs a multidisciplinary approach combining Drosophila behavior, neuron-specific transcriptomics, epigenomics, bioinformatics, and developmental biology. Kramer's lab is dedicated to understanding the mechanisms by which mutations in genes affecting chromatin structure contribute to neurodevelopmental disorders like Autism and Intellectual Disability. His lab's main goals involve investigating how epigenetic processes influence learning and memory and elucidating disease mechanisms associated with neurodevelopmental disorders caused by disrupted chromatin regulation. Kramer's academic journey includes a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Human Genetics at Radboud University Medical Center and a Ph.D. in Biology from Memorial University. He is actively involved in teaching and mentoring students in their research pursuits.
