Research Interests Key words: systems biology, signal transduction, cell fate decisions, cell cycle We study the behavior of individual cells and try to understand how groups of cells work together to carry out emergent functions. We are especially interested in “irreversible” cell fates such as apoptosis, senescence, and differentiation. How does a given cell convert … Read more
