Diane joined the Laird Lab as a postdoc in Fall 2005 after completing her Ph.D. with Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington. In her graduate work, Diane used mathematical modeling to investigate lateral gene transfer, relatedness and antibiotic resistance in bacteria. Here in the Laird Lab, Diane is using a combination of molecular and mathematical techniques to investigate the evolution of epigenetic fidelity in eukaryotes, and the population structure of DNA methylation patterns in populations of somatic cells.
