Research

Synthetic Development
We use self-organizing properties of stem cells to build embryo-like structures

How cells make decsions?
We use biochemical and imaging approaches to determine fundamental principles of cell fate decsions

Engineering Cell Fate
We use genome and epigenome editing tools to control cell fate decsion in stem cells
