Selcan Aydin

Associate Computational Scientist · The Jackson Laboratory

Hello! I’m a computational scientist at The Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine. Originally from Istanbul, Turkey, I completed my Ph.D. in Biology at Duke University, studying the impacts of genetic variation on cellular phenotypes in budding yeast. My work now focuses on quantitative genetics and systems biology — understanding how genetic variation shapes cell fate decisions and mouse development. Outside the lab I enjoy hiking the Maine coast, gardening, and spending time with my son Leo and our dog Darwin. 🌿
