Profile/About Me
The Konkel Lab is currently actively recruiting at all levels including a postdoctoral researcher (https://apply.interfolio.com/85750) and a computational scientist. If you are interested in the role of transposable elements in primates including humans or genomics-related interface design please send an inquiry to mkonkel@clemson.edu.
Miriam Konkel received an M.D. from the Charité, Humboldt University in December 2000. She completed part of her residency in Pediatrics at the Emil von Behring Hospital, Heckeshorn and at the Charité, Universtätsmedizin Berlin, Germany. Miriam Konkel continued her residency in Internal Medicine with emphasis on Infectious Diseases in the Department of Gastroenterology, Rheumatology, and Infectious Diseases at the Charité, Universtätsmedizin Berlin, Germany. In 2005, Miriam Konkel joined Louisiana State University as a postdoctoral researcher. In 2011 she became an assistant professor for research at LSU. Miriam Konkel joined Clemson University in January 2017 as an assistant professor in the Department of Genetics and Biochemistry. She is a member of the Clemson University Center for Human Genetics; a CUSHR (Clemson University School of Health Research) Scholar (since May 2017); and a BDSI (Biomededical Data Science and Informatics) core faculty member (since June 2018). In May 2018, Miriam Konkel received the URSAAA (University Research, Scholarship and Artistic Achievement Award) award.
Research Interests
My laboratory centers upon primate genomics and focuses on genome-mobilome interactions. We are interested in how genomes evolve with respect to mobile elements, and how mobile elements evolve over time. Moreover, we are intrigued by observations that the fate of mobile elements varies in different primate lineages. We are interested in identifying reasons for higher and lower mobilization rates of mobile elements; e.g., the quiescence of Alu propagation in the lineage leading to orangutan. These variations occasionally even are such that a new repeat family does not establish itself in a primate lineage, while it maintains activity over millions of years in another. One such example recently identified by us is the case of Platy-1 in New World monkeys.
Our third area of research is the development of cyberphysical genomics interfaces. Here, we are working within interdisciplinary teams to develop new approaches for data interaction. Toward this, we are investigating different interaction modalities integrating tablets, interactive walls, and tangible user interfaces. We believe that novel approaches for data interaction of large datasets (e.g. several to thousands of genomes) will lead to a better understanding of datasets and consequently higher quality datasets. Our goal is to provide interfaces to wide range of target groups: from domain experts to lay people, and from bioinformaticians to counselors and patients.
