About

Daniel McKay is an Assistant Professor at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His research primarily focuses on developmental biology and genetics, with recent articles exploring chromatin structure, enhancer activity, and genomic organization in Drosophila. His work addresses the mechanisms driving tissue-specific developmental responses and the regulatory controls during metamorphosis. Professor McKay’s contributions enhance understanding of histone functions and the molecular basis of polyphenism.
