Research Associate
Chordoma Foundation
Tyler received both his B.A. and M.S. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Clark University. His graduate research focused on the application of isothermal titration calorimetry in identifying the consensus DNA binding sequence of homeodomain transcription factors. He then moved on to Purdue University, where he studied the effects of antibiotic supplementation in feedlot cattle on the gut microbiome and metabolome. Currently, Tyler is a research associate at the Chordoma Foundation, where he plays a key role in their efforts to drug brachyury, a transcription factor and critical driver in chordoma cells.
