Arpiar Saunders receives a Helen Hay Whitney Fellowship.

Arpy Saunders has received a three-year post-doctoral fellowship from the Helen Hay Whitney Foundation (HHW), marking another step on his scientific journey that started in a cabin in the New Hampshire woods. Having grown up there, it is no surprise that, before coming to our lab, he studied outdoorsy science […]


Matt Baum publishes his book, ‘The Neuroethics of Biomarkers’.

Matt Baum (a student in the lab) has written a book, published by Oxford University Press and available through Amazon, on the challenges and controversies involved in using disease biomarkers to evaluate patients, judge criminals, and make moral decisions.

Investigations into DNA Replication Timing

Amnon Koren has published three papers centered around his work on DNA replication timing. He described a new way to study DNA replication by using increasingly abundant whole genome sequence data, which he found contained signatures of DNA replication processes that were active in cells at the moment DNA was extracted from them.
