Assistant Professor
UNC - Chapel Hill
Doug Phanstiel is an Assistant Professor of Cell Biology & Physiology at UNC-Chapel Hill and a member of the Thurston Arthritis Research Center. The overarching goal of the Phanstiel lab is to understand the role of 3D chromatin structure in gene regulation, organismal development, and human disease. They employ an interdisciplinary approach that combines existing genomic, proteomic, bioinformatic, and genome editing technologies with the development of new experimental and computational tools to interrogate 3D chromatin architecture and its role in osteoarthritis, Alzheimer鈥檚 disease, and cancer.
