Luke Deary

Wang lab

Luke is a graduate of Washington and Lee University. He received a BS degree in Biology with a Classics minor. In our Molecular and Cellular Biology graduate program, Luke is a member of the Wang lab in the Norris Cotton Cancer Center. He studies the role of SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes in maintenance of intestinal stem cell identity and their loss of function in colorectal cancers. His hobbies include skiing, hiking and guitar.
