Research summary
AI-generated

Benjamin D. Sunkel's work is situated in biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, with a focus on how DNA is packaged and regulated in cells (chromatin and epigenetics), how genes are expressed and spliced (RNA processing), and how genetic changes relate to cancers such as sarcoma. Earlier work examined how a specific protein (FOXA1) binds to DNA-packaging structures called nucleosomes, which can help control which genes are turned on or off.

Publication output was minimal before 2020, rose to a peak in 2021, and has continued at a modest, somewhat variable pace of a few papers per year since then.
