Welcome to the Patterson Lab

Est. 2018

Our lab’s scientific interests lie at the intersection of cellular ploidy, genetic diversity, basal heart physiology, and tissue repair. We employ a mix of forward genetics approaches and resources to identify novel players in the traits we are exploring, along with classic reverse genetics and engineered animal models to assess causative relationships between identified genes and correlated phenotypes.

We believe in team science and are keen to recruit new lab members that will bring new scientific perspectives and augment the inclusive environment we seek to maintain. Please explore our site and reach out with any questions you might have.
