Research
We seek to understand the quantitative control of gene expression in development and the resulting “tipping points” in disease, knowledge that can lead to more precise, controlled therapies for a range of rare and common disorders.
To achieve these goals, we combine functional genomics and computational modeling using stem cell-derived in vitro models of development. A common theme across projects is the use of highly quantitative tools and approaches: “analog genomics”.
