Benjamin C. Carter's research focuses on chromatin biology and gene regulation, studying how proteins that package and organize DNA (such as chromatin remodeling complexes like BRD9, PBRM1, and BAF/mSWI-SNF) control processes including cancer progression, cellular stress responses, and early embryonic gene activation. The work spans molecular techniques for mapping histone modifications (chemical marks on DNA-packaging proteins) at low cell numbers, and applications ranging from prostate cancer and kidney disease to plant development and HIV latency.

Publication output has been variable over the last decade, with a notable spike in 2023 followed by lower output in 2024-2025, rather than a steady or clearly growing trend.
