Associate Professor

Overview

Tom Bishop is a computational molecular biologist. His primary research interests are the structure and dynamics of DNA and chromatin and how they relate to genetic function and disfunction (e.g. transcription, regulation, replication and repair). He studies molecular events in the hormone response mechanism as a model system for this research. He has developed a multiscale model of chromatin that bridges between atomic and continuum scales. Dr. Bishop has received support for this research from the Louisiana Board of Regents, the National Science Foundation, and the National Institutes of Health. Current support is from the Louisiana Board of Regents and the NIH.
