Dr. Rochelle Coulson obtained her PhD in Integrative Genetics and Genomics from the University of California, Davis, where she studied in the lab of Dr. Janine LaSalle.  Her thesis work focused on the role of the Prader-Willi locus long non-coding RNA Snord116 in regulating local chromatin dynamics and genome-wide DNA methylation, including diurnal epigenetic rhythms. She is currently a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University, in the labs of Dr. Philippe Mourrain and Dr. Gordon Wang, where she studies molecular and cellular pathway regulation at the synapse in Fragile X syndrome.
