Graduate Student
Washington State University
Pullman, Washington, United States
Tia is a graduate student at Washington State University studying epigenetic regulation in gametogenesis and embryonic development. Their work explores the role of histone modifications, particularly H3K27me3, in shaping chromatin states that influence fertility and embryo viability. They are particularly interested in how epigenetic information carried by the gametes contributes to developmental outcomes and the long-term health of offspring.
Currently, Tia is examining the role of sperm H3K27me3 in embryo development and its impact on embryo survival. Their research contributes to a broader effort to uncover how epigenetic factors inherited from the germline influence embryonic viability and developmental trajectories. They are also interested in innovations in mouse model generation and the application of emerging approaches to study epigenetic inheritance.
Beyond their research, Tia is committed to fostering collaboration within the scientific community and engaging in discussions on the future of reproductive biology and epigenetics. They enjoy exploring new ideas, mentoring students, and contributing to a supportive research environment.
