Dr. Tim Jenkins received his BS in Physiology and Developmental Biology in 2008 and his PhD in Physiology from the University of Utah in 2013. After a few years as a faculty member in the Division of Urology at the University of Utah, Dr. Jenkins returned to BYU as an assistant professor of Cell Biology and Physiology.
Research Interests
The Jenkins lab is very active and studies the utility of DNA methylation as a diagnostic tool for various complex diseases including infertility, Alzheimers, and cancer among many others. This includes assessment of cell free DNA methylation signatures to identify the presence or absence of rare cell types. Using epigenetics, Dr. Jenkins hopes to improve outcomes for individuals with complex disease through providing early diagnosis as well as improving the success rate of infertility treatments both in terms of pregnancy outcome and offspring health.
Teaching Interests
Dr. Jenkins teaches multiple courses from the very basic biology (CELL 120) to computational approaches used to study epigenetics (CELL 550R). In addition, Dr. Jenkins has been involved with a number of biotechnology companies and teaches the bio-innovations course series (CELL 444, CELL 445) which helps students identify how basic science discoveries can be taken to market.
