Biography

Jason Brickner is a Professor in the Department of Molecular Biosciences at Northwestern University. He received his Ph.D. from Stanford University School of Medicine in 1998. His research focuses on the spatial organization of genes within the nucleus and how this organization influences gene expression. His lab has discovered DNA 'zip codes' that act as promoters to control the positioning of genes in the nucleus, thus impacting transcription through various mechanisms including epigenetic changes and chromatin structure. Brickner's work has led to significant insights into how gene positioning can affect transcriptional outcomes and has implications for understanding nuclear organization in cells.
