Alice Pierce


PhD Candidate in Plant Biology @ UC Davis

I'm a plant computational biologist, science communicator, and artist from the vibrant coastal city of Mazatlán, México. I study how introns influence chromatin biology in plants in Dr. Grey Monroe's lab at UC Davis.

Plant Chromatin Biology

I investigate how intron architecture and sequence shape chromatin features and gene expression in Arabidopsis thaliana, integrating ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, and RNA-seq datasets.
