A bit of a multi-step plan:

1 * See work of past and present students, and what it's like to be in the lab

http://www.gersteinlab.org/people

http://www.gersteinlab.org/people/alumni.htm

http://info.gersteinlab.org/Additional_Information_about_Personnel

2 * Next, glance at papers

http://papers.gersteinlab.org/

3 * Drill into some very easy-to-read papers

http://papers.gersteinlab.org/subject/intro-to-lab/

in particular,

  1. simulations: http://papers.gersteinlab.org/papers/watersim-sciam/
  2. genomics: http://papers.gersteinlab.org/papers/sciam2
  3. proteomics:http://papers.gersteinlab.org/papers/amsci/

4 * You might want to look at our research summary and some press write-ups as well.

See http://www.gersteinlab.org/research and Selected Press Accounts Highlighting Gerstein Lab Work

Flipping through a few lectures is also easy.

5 * The above steps (1 to 4), give you some context. Now if you're interested, you might want to talk to current senior PhD students and postdocs in the lab, who could potentially be mentors for a initial project

(These can often be listed by their initials -- e.g. JR = Joel Rozowsky or CC = Chao Cheng.)

You might want to contact these people with a CC back to Mark.

6 * Finally, write back to Mark with some summary thoughts on the above, and then arrange a meeting.

7 * Any arrangement is possible. The only rule is don't be a *FLAKE*.
