We are thrilled to share the news that Lu (Lucy) Bai has been selected as the Verne M. Willaman Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology!  Dr. Bai has made tremendous contributions to our understanding of how chromatin influences gene regulation and she and her lab have developed important new techniques for deciphering the mechanisms of gene regulation.  Hearty congratulations to Dr. Bai on this well-deserved recognition!
