About the Lab

The McKenna Lab is located at Dartmouth College and the Dartmouth Cancer Center, within the Geisel School of Medicine. We are situated in the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, Williamson building, on the Lebanon, NH campus.

We use both experimental and computational tools to explore how cells choose their fate, with the ultimate goal of modulating cell state to reshape diseases such as cancer. Our work spans cell lineage tracing, computational biology, cancer genetics, and long-read sequencing technologies.

We accept graduate students through the Molecular and Cellular Biology (MCB) and Quantitative Biomedical Sciences (QBS) programs.
