Jack Carpenter

(he/him)

BSc (Hons) MRes

Overview

Jack graduated from Cardiff University in 2021 with a BSc Biological Sciences (Genetics). He went on to complete an MRes in Biological Science at Cardiff, investigating the role of the transcription factor TCP4 in gene regulatory networks that control leaf development in Arabidopsis thaliana. Jack’s studies left him with an interest in leveraging computational techniques to help answer questions within systems biology.

His PhD will continue to define the roles of transcription factors in plant development under the supervision of Dr Simon Scofield, Professor Jim Murry, and Tamara Lechón Gómez. The project focuses on understanding gene regulatory networks that govern pluripotency in plant stem cells, whilst also promoting leaf development.
