Overview

We are a curiosity-driven laboratory working on a range of problems in single-cell systems biology. We are at Northwestern University, jointly with the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology and the Center for Synthetic Biology. Yogesh is also a Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Investigator.

Individual cells within genetically homogenous populations can respond differently to inductive signals or cues and adopt distinct fates. We combine novel experimental, computational, and theoretical frameworks to monitor, perturb, model, and ultimately control single-cell variabilities and emergent fate choices in development and disease. Here’s one of my recent public lectures on single-cell plasticity. See Research for more detail.

We care deeply about following sustainable lab practices, and we are proud to be the First Green Labs Certified Lab at Northwestern University.
