Who: EpiGenie Web is the team of folks who scour through PubMed, watch out for interesting epigenetics press releases, conduct interviews with epigenetics researchers, and work closely with the technology providers to stay on top of the most applicable technologies driving epigenetics-related research. Some of us have PhDs while others have ADD. At some point we’ve all held a pipet though, but tra
ded it in for a wireless mouse and a different type of carpal tunnel. Why: We love the field of epigenetics. Every week we gain an increasing appreciation for the complexities of gene regulation and how integral epigenetics really is, but that pales in comparison to how much we appreciate the folks sweating in out in the labs producing the work we read. EpiGenie is the way we hook up the research community that gives us something to read and talk about. How: We have a team of motivated technical writers, database peeps, web development, and search engine marketing gurus, who work closely with our Editor to produce content and make sure people see it. Where: Want to visit us? We’d love to have you, so if you’re ever in Del Mar (CA), please look us up and we’ll buy you a beer or coffee or something. Actually, Del Mar is where our P.O. Box is located, but there’s a really nice copy machine next to it that doubles as a coffee/cocktail table for social events. Most of our team is scattered all over the country and thanks to this neat invention called the internet, it’s all good.
