Investigating gene control mechanisms that drive development and disease
and applying lessons learned from these studies to building a better heart.
Welcome to the Boyer Lab
We investigate how the regulation of complex gene circuits informs developmental outcomes using heart as a model system. We also apply these models and methods to develop novel therapeutic strategies for stimulating cardiac tissue repair.
Our ability to combine genomic, genetic, biochemical, and cell biological approaches both in vitro and in vivo allows us to gain a systems level and quantitative understanding of the regulatory circuits in both normal and pathological conditions. Ongoing efforts using tissue engineering to model the 3D architecture of the heart will also lend itself to this effort. More broadly, we discover fundamental principles that can be applied to understanding developmental control mechanisms across systems.

Looking for an exciting postdoc to study gene regulatory mechanisms that drive cell fate and regeneration? The Boyer lab at MIT is the place for YOU! Please send inquiries directly to lboyer [at] mit [dot] edu.
Excited to welcome new graduate students: Catherine Santina and John Day! They will develop and apply new approaches for studying molecular and cellular changes in cardiac regeneration and regulation of DNA and genome topology during lineage commitment, respectively! WOW!
@boyerlab2 Join our dynamic and talented team! We have openings for postdocs and techs interested in understanding how metabolism and chromatin crosstalk to specify cardiac cell fate using mouse models and hiPSC mediated differentiation! Please email lboyer[at]mit dot edu for information!
Congratulations to Boyer Lab & MIT s
student Meghan Davis for winning the Mitchell Scholarship. #Trailblazer #women #Mitchellscholarship
