Dr. Richards is currently an Associate Professor of Biology at Washington University. He received his Ph.D. in Microbiology and Molecular Genetics from Harvard University in 1989. Dr. Richards' research program uses a combination of forward and reverse genetic approaches to study the function and regulation of cytosine methylation, principally using experimental models. In addition, the Richards lab studies the broader role of DNA modification and chromatin packaging in cementing alternative epigenetic states that influence inherited characters. |
