Martha Bulyk

Martha Bulyk is an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and an associate member at the Broad Institute. Her research focuses on elucidating the interactions between transcription factors and their DNA binding sites, which together form an integral part of the genetic regulatory networks in cells. Toward this end, her laboratory recently developed protein binding microarrays (PBMs), a DNA microarray-based technology that allows high-throughput characterization of the DNA binding specificities of proteins in a single day. Her group is now using PBMs to identify the genes that are regulated by numerous transcription factors from yeast. The Bulyk laboratory is also developing strategies that employ comparative genomics methods and may allow a better understanding of the locations and organization of regulatory DNA elements in metazoan genomes.
