Current lab members
 |
Samantha Peeters, B.Sc. (Guelph) is a Ph.D. student identifying the DNA elements allowing human genes to escape X-chromosome inactivation. She is doing this by integration of human DNA into the mouse X chromosome in collaboration with the Simpson lab at CMMT. She is currently using CRISPR in a mouse embryonic stem cell line with two X chromosomes to generate a female cell line for targeting. Sam was featured in Faculty of Medicine’s ‘Back to School’ site | |
 |
Karanveer Bhangu, B.Sc. (York) joined the lab in September 2021. He is currently using CRISPR to generate deletions of XIST in somatic cells. | |
 |
Bradley Balaton, B.Sc. (Saskatoon) is a Ph.D. student studying genes that are variable in their escape from X-chromosome inactivation, so that they are subject to inactivation in some females, but escape from inactivation in other females. | |
 |
Christine Yang, (M.Sc. UBC) did her M.Sc. on using DNA methylation to examine silencing of transgenes. She then undertook the lab’s first RNA and ChIP-seq studies (see Genome Biology paper) and has become the lab’s RIP-star. | |
 |
Sarah (B.Sc. Simon Fraser University) is the lab manager and is looking at XIST RNA:protein interactions. | |
