Biography
Michael Tackett completed his M.S. in Biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His graduate research in the lab of Dr. Andrew Chess helped elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which gene regulation machinery distinguishes between the maternal and paternal alleles of certain genes that are independently and randomly regulated at the cellular level. Tackett interests include how immunological and neuronal cell types increase functional diversity to improve immune recognition and neuronal function. Tackett completed his B.S. in Biology and B. A. in Computer Science at the State University of New York at Buffalo. While there he researched nuclear structure in mammalian cells in the lab of Dr. Ronald Berezney.
