Our molecular biologists and geneticists study which genes are involved in key biological processes and how the expression of these genes is regulated in normal and disease states. New methods like CRISPR gene editing are studied and applied to expedite discovery and the development of therapeutics.

Our long-term goal is to develop the necessary computational and experimental framework for predictive models that explain how cells determine their protein abundance. Achieving this goal involves two major components: (1) higher-resolution and higher-precision measurements of various gene expression modalities, and (2) computational and theoretical advancements capable of integrating these quantitative measurements into cohesive, predictive frameworks. We are looking for highly motivated and ambitious PhD students and postdoctoral fellows to join our team.
