Regular biography
David Suter is an Associate Professor in the Department of BIO at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). His research focuses on immunology, stem cell biology, and gene expression analysis. He teaches courses such as Immunology (BIO-310), Bioluminescence Imaging and Data Analysis (BIO-679), and Stem Cells and Organoids (BIO-447). Dr. Suter's work includes the study of gene expression fluctuations in single cells and the role of stem cells in tissue development and regeneration. He is also involved in doctoral training and serves on the PhD program committee for Computational and quantitative biology.
Scholar-generated biography
David M Suter is an Associate Professor at EPFL, specializing in molecular biology, stem cell biology, transcription factors, epigenetics, and gene expression. His research explores the dynamics of transcriptional regulation, including transcription factor binding, chromatin accessibility, and the role of epigenetic mechanisms in gene expression. He investigates how transcriptional bursting and histone modifications influence gene activity, as well as the interplay between transcription factors and chromatin structure during cellular differentiation. His work also examines the role of mitotic bookmarking and circadian rhythms in transcriptional regulation. Suter's research integrates advanced imaging and single-cell analysis to uncover molecular mechanisms underlying cellular fate decisions.
