Bio
Maya Capelson is a molecular cell biologist studying epigenetics and gene regulation – how cells remember which genes to turn on and off. She will continue a long SDSU tradition of using Drosophila fruit flies as model organisms to answer fundamental science questions about complex biological processes. Specifically, she will investigate how chromosomes interact with the nuclear envelope and nuclear pores and how these interactions help regulate genes.
