We study
๐ค
how information is stored ๐พ
, processed โ๏ธ
, and transmitted ๐ก
between cells with a special focus on how aforementioned information processing enables computations ๐ซ
in the nervous system ๐ง
.To do this we develop novel tools and techniques at the intersection of molecular biology
๐งฌ
and computer science ๐งฎ
.
โ๏ธ Research ๐ฌ
Understanding
๐ค
the nature of cell communication ๐ฌ
in health and disease ๐ฅ
remains one of the most important areas of biology. ๐งฌ

.Our lab searches

for hitherto unknown ๐คท๐ป
mechanism ๐ ๏ธ
by which symbolic ๐ฃ
information ๐ก
can be transferred between cells ๐งซ โ๏ธ ๐งซ
.Identification of such transmission would enable us to read
๐๏ธ

and write โ๏ธ
those messages ๐ซ
.๐ ๏ธ Tools ๐งฐ
Development of novel tools is an intricate part of our lab.
๐ฌ Single-molecule imaging
We use and develop methods to read and write information at single molecule level.
๐ Programmable bioconjugation
We combine nonlinear optical microscopy together with chemoselective moeities to develop new ways to perturb and interrogate information at the single-molecule level.
๐ง Computational anatomy
Whole-mount 3D single-molecule data at the transcriptome level necessitates new ways compiling and analyzing anatomical data. We develop computational tools and resources.
