Brent Y. Chick

Hi, I'm a third-year PhD student at the Salk Institute in La Jolla, CA. My research couples bioengineering and sequencing approaches to interrogate the mechanisms by which the epigenome decodes enviornmental signals to control cell behavior. Outside of the lab, I enjoy gardening, cooking, tennis, post-punk, and David Lynch films. I am interested in both academic and industry jobs post-PhD.

todo: add research description
My research has been published in Nature Methods, Cell Stem Cell, Cell Reports, The Journal of Immunology, and Blood. Prior to joining Dr. Diana Hargreaves' lab at the Salk, I did my MA at UCSB with Dr. Max Wilson, performed research at UCLA under Dr. Gay Crooks and Dr. Chris Seet, and completed my BS at UCSD while working in the lab of Dr. Stephen Hedrick.
