Seychelle M. Vos, PhD, has a passion for science that was ignited at a young age while exploring her parents’ garden and the natural world around her. Now she studies some of the biggest questions in genome biology: how DNA structure and chromatin influence protein transcription. The molecular machines that physically couple transcription and DNA structure by changing the position of nucleosomes, interfacing with chromatin, and compressing DNA into loops, are the focus of Vos’ research.

Dominique Ingato, PhD, is a faculty member at MiraCosta College’s Department of Biotechnology. As one of only fifteen community colleges in California to offer a bachelor’s degree, MiraCosta College’s bachelor’s program in biomanufacturing is breaking ground. As part of this program, Ingato runs a next-generation chromatography (NGC) teaching lab, where students receive practical, hands-on training using state-of-the-art instruments, such as the NGC Chromatography System.
