Jacqueline Elise Payton, MD, PhD

Research Interests

Dr. Payton's translational research focuses on the discovery of novel genetic and epigenetic mechanisms of carcinogenesis, particularly those that deregulate gene expression networks, using integrative, multi-platformhigh complexity experimental and bioinformatic approaches. In addition, innovative approaches to selectively target cancer-associated aberrant epigenetic landscapes in order to reverse pathogenic gene expression profiles and regulatory networks is in development.
