Biography
Erik has spent the last decade working at the intersection between molecular/cell biology and functional genomics. His work combines experimental molecular and cell biology techniques, such as culture mammalian tissue culture (ES cells, fibroblasts, neural differentiation, ex vivo neurons), with analysis of ultra high-throughput sequencing of functional genomic data such as ChIP-seq, MNase-seq, ATAC-seq, and others. He has co-authored seven publications in journals such as Nature, Cell, and Nature Genetics. Erik graduated manga cum laude from the University of Washington with a BS in Microbiology and received a Ph.D. in Genetics from Stanford University while working with Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator Gerald Crabtree.
