Biography

Samuel Beck is an Assistant Professor at Boston University in the Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, Department of Dermatology. He completed his PhD at Seoul National University, specializing in molecular biosciences, particularly gene regulatory mechanisms at the transcription level. His research interests lie at the intersection of experimental biology and big data analytics, focusing on the systematic analysis of complex biological questions. Beck's work has notably contributed to the understanding of mammalian gene regulation, with significant findings on the role of CpG islands and 3-D chromatin architectures in transcriptional and epigenetic regulation. His endeavors are also directed towards exploring the biological implications of these regulatory mechanisms on aging and physiological deterioration. Over the years, Beck has mentored undergraduate students, particularly from underrepresented backgrounds, and has received several awards recognizing his contributions to the field, including the Hevolution/AFAR New Investigator Award in Geroscience Research. He has an ongoing commitment to advancing research in dermatology and broadening the understanding of gene expression regulation in health and disease.
