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.
