Brian Strahl

Brian Strahl is a scientist specializing in molecular biology, focusing on how DNA is packed and regulated within our cells. His research examines histones—proteins around which DNA winds—studying how their chemical modifications influence gene activity. Understanding these processes helps reveal how genes are turned on or off, which is vital for developments in medicine and genetics. As a professor and researcher, Strahl’s work contributes to our knowledge of epigenetics, the study of changes in gene expression not caused by alterations in the underlying DNA sequence.
