  • 2011 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

Cheryl L. Walker is affiliated with Baylor College of Medicine in the United States. Their research spans multiple disciplines within biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and medicine, with a focus on molecular biology, pulmonary and respiratory medicine, health toxicology, mutagenesis, sociology, political science, and cell biology.

The main topics covered by their work include epigenetics and DNA methylation, renal cell carcinoma treatment, microtubule and mitosis dynamics, renal and related cancers, cancer-related gene regulation, genomics and chromatin dynamics, and cancer genomics and diagnostics.

Frequent co-authors in their publications include W. Kimryn Rathmell, Cristian Coarfa, Durga Nand Tripathi, Sandra L. Grimm, and Ruhee Dere.

The scientist has contributed extensively to several publication venues. Notable venues with multiple publications are bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Cancer Research, UNC Libraries, Nature Communications, and Science Advances.

Some recent publications by Cheryl L. Walker include:

  • Clear cell renal cell carcinoma ontogeny and mechanisms of lethality, 2020, Nature Reviews Nephrology
  • A precision environmental health approach to prevention of human disease, 2023, Nature Communications
  • Epigenome environment interactions accelerate epigenomic aging and unlock metabolically restricted epigenetic reprogramming in adulthood, 2020, Nature Communications
  • Houston hurricane Harvey health (Houston-3H) study: assessment of allergic symptoms and stress after hurricane Harvey flooding, 2021, Environmental Health
  • The Huntingtin-interacting protein SETD2/HYPB is an actin lysine methyltransferase, 2020, Science Advances

Walker's work is situated predominantly in the fields of biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and medicine, with a prolific output in molecular biology. Their research frequently addresses mechanisms underlying cancer, especially renal cell carcinoma, and includes exploration of environmental impacts on disease prevention and epigenomic aging processes.

Among accolades, Cheryl L. Walker was named a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 2011.
