Research Associate Post Bachelor RI Perinatal Gallagher

The Gallagher Laboratory studies clinical translational and basic aspects of normal and perturbed blood development and inherited and acquired disorders of the erythrocyte. Interests include genetic bases of erythrocyte volume regulation in normal and disease states such as sickle cell disease. Another focus is study of gene regulation in hematopoiesis including role of specific transcription and epigenetic proteins chromatin architecture and DNA methylation on the regulation of entire programs of genes. His group applies omics strategies including scRNA and microRNA transcriptome analyses RNA seq ChIP-seq CUT&RUN CUT&tag technology ATAC sequencing genome-wide methylation studies as well as phosphor- and quantitative proteomics techniques to the understanding of hematopoiesis
