Learning anisotropic interaction rules from individual trajectories in a heterogeneous cellular population
Our applied math collaborators use my motility data to help them understand how and why cells move in populations with more than one cell type. In press at Journal of the Royal Society Interface as of Sep. 5, 2022, and available on arXiv in the meantime.

Genome-wide binding analysis of 195 DNA binding proteins reveals “reservoir” promoters and human specific SVA-repeat family regulation
Re-analyzed ENCODE data reveal 1,362 ‘reservoir’ promoters with up to 111 different DNA-binding proteins present but no steady-state RNA expression.

Suppression of alpha-catenin and adherens junctions enhances epithelial cell proliferation and motility via TACE-mediated TGF-alpha autocrine/paracrine signaling
Perturbation of adherens junctions elevates autocrine TGF-α signaling via membrane-bound protease TACE, which sustains elevated proliferation and motility in keratinocytes.

Genome-wide dose-dependent inhibition of histone deacetylases studies reveal their roles in enhancer remodeling and suppression of oncogenic super-enhancers
Histone deacetylase inhibitors prefererentially suppress expression of super-enhancer-driven genes, which are associated with cancer.
