What we do
In the Laboratory of Systems Biology and Genetics (LSBG), we use high-throughput sequencing, single cell genomics, microfluidics, and computational approaches:
- to decipher the regulatory code in Drosophila and mammals with a specific focus on mesenchymal stem cell function, adipose biology and gut immunity, and
- to examine how variations in this code affect molecular and organismal diversity.
In addition to our research interests, we are actively pursuing the development of new research tools and computational pipelines that enable a better characterization of gene regulatory networks.
