Naqvi Lab Quantitative principles of gene regulation in development and disease

Research

figure image

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”.
