Thomas Whitlow – Postdoctoral Associate
Thomas is a first-generation college student who grew up in the Appalachian Mountains and received his BS in biotechnology at Marshall University in 2018, where he worked in environmental toxicology as an undergrad. He received his PhD in molecular genetics, biochemistry, and microbiology from the University of Cincinnati in 2023. At UC, he studied copper metabolism in skeletal muscle cell differentiation and post-transcriptional regulation of copper homeostasis genes. During his PhD, he found that he had a broader interest in gene expression and regenerative biology. In the Tata Lab, Thomas is working to understand transcriptional and epigenetic control of cell state identity and transition in response to injury and disease. In his free time, Thomas likes to boulder, play video games, and watch movies.
