Maitreya Dunham
Titles
- Professor of Genome Sciences
Departments
Roles
BMHA Training Faculty, HALO Faculty, Invertebrate Core Director, NSC Core Director, Shock Center Executive Committee
Aneuploidy, evolution, and aging. Dr. Dunham develops and applies genomic tools to study genome evolution and genetic variation in yeast and humans. She has a special interest in how gene and chromosome copy number variation contributes to adaptation, the mechanisms by which such variation arises, and the relationship between aneuploidy and aging. They utilize the budding […]

Departments
Computer Science, Genome Sciences
Roles
AI Core Director, BMHA Executive Committee, BMHA Training Faculty, HALO Faculty, Shock Center Executive Committee
Understanding aging through explainable machine learning The Lee lab seeks to develop explainable AI for life sciences. Explainable in this context means understanding which features drive the prediction. The Lee lab has been collaborating with the Kaeberlein lab to develop and apply machine learning to aging biology, with the initial goal of using noisy human […]

Departments
Roles
BMHA Training Faculty, HALO Faculty, Invertebrate Core Faculty, NSC Development Core, Shock Center Executive Committee
Dr. Mendenhall’s laboratory utilizes the nematode C. elegans to understand how and why genetically identical populations of cells and animals in the same environment age differently. How much and what kind of physiological variation is intrinsic/chance based, or is programmed and heritable? The lab takes the approach of directly observing events inside of living cells […]
