Assistant Professor
University of Southern California
Dr. Bell is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California. His laboratory investigates the epigenetic mechanisms targeting chromatin modification to reinforce maintenance of gene expression states through genome replication. The Bell lab uses synthetic biology approaches, genetics and genomics to manipulate chromatin modifications and study their dynamics and inheritance. Ultimately, Dr. Bell’s research group aims to unravel the crosstalk between epigenetic regulation and cell plasticity.
