Shaun Filliaux

He pursued a Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Science at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, specializing in molecular biophysics. His doctoral research emphasized studying DNA-protein interactions using cutting-edge techniques like atomic force microscopy (AFM). Shaun’s work illuminated the structural and dynamic properties of nucleosomes, providing novel insights into their stability, wrapping, and interactions with transcription factors such as NF-κB. Notably, his research on CENP-A nucleosomes and their role in centromeric chromatin dynamics has contributed to the broader understanding of chromatin biology and its implications for gene regulation and cellular processes.

Quality Control Chemist

Shaun’s early professional experiences as a quality control chemist for regulated industries solidified his analytical skills. He conducted HPLC testing and ensured compliance with FDA standards, honing his attention to detail and ability to work under stringent quality requirements.
