Job Dekker

Job Dekker is a Dutch biochemist. Dekker is a professor of biochemistry and molecular pharmacology and co-director of the Program in Systems Biology at the University of Massachusetts Medical School and an Investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.[1]

Dekker studied molecular genetics and biochemistry as an undergraduate at Utrecht University, where he also obtained a Ph.D. in Physiological Chemistry in 1997.[1] During his postdoctoral studies in Nancy Kleckner’s lab at Harvard University, Dekker developed a method, called chromosome conformation capture, for identifying a matrix of the pair-wise interactions between different sites of chromatin and inferring the spatial folding of chromosomes from this information.[2]
