Michael Guy Poirier is a Professor and biophysicist at Ohio State University where he is a faculty member in both the Department of Physics[3] and the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry[4] .
Education
Poirier attended Truman State University where he earned a BS in physics in 1995. He earned a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2002. His Ph.D. advisor was John F. Marko[2] and his dissertation is entitled "Micromechanical Biochemical Studies of Mitotic Chromosome Elasticity and Structure"[5] In 2006 he was hired as an assistant faculty member at Ohio State University. In 2012 he was promoted to associate faculty and in 2016 he became full faculty at Ohio State University.
Publications
Poirier is author and co-author of numerous publications in biophysics[1]. His most frequently cited paper is "Post-Translational Modifications of Histones That Influence Nucleosome Dynamics"[6] which he co-authored with Gregory D. Bowman.
Another notable publication is "Basic helix-loop-helix pioneer factors interact with the histone octamer to invade nucleosomes and generate nucleosome-depleted regions"[7] which was highlighted in a magazine article[8] for the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB)
Awards and Honors
In 2020, Poirier won the Lumley Interdisciplinary Research Award from the Ohio State University college of engineering.[9]
