Lacramioara Bintu is an Associate Professor in the Department of Bioengineering at Stanford University. Her research focuses on single-cell high-throughput measurements of chromatin and gene regulation dynamics, aimed at developing predictive models to enhance mammalian cell engineering. Lacra began her exploration of gene regulation during her undergraduate studies under Jané Kondev at Brandeis University and later worked with Rob Phillips at Caltech. She pursued her physics PhD as a student in Carlos Bustamante's lab at the University of California, Berkeley, where she applied single-molecule methods to investigate the transcriptional mechanisms involving nucleosomes. Lacramioara transitioned to studying dynamics of epigenetic regulation in living cells during her postdoctoral fellowship with Michael Elowitz at Caltech. She has received several awards including the Maximizing Investigators' Research Award from the NIH-NIGMS and a Career Award from the Burroughs Wellcome Fund. Lacra is highly regarded for her contributions to the field and continues to mentor doctoral candidates and postdoctoral fellows in her lab.
