Research

  • Using single-cell transcriptomics to investigate gene regulation, cellular heterogeneity and the specification of cell identities. We are studying gene expression and regulation using a combination of genomic technologies. In particular, we are developing and applying single-cell transcriptomics to better understand how cellular identities are specified at the molecular level during differentiation, in pluripotency and to enable studies of the cellular heterogeneity in tumors. Additionally, we believe that analyses of single-cell level gene expression will unravel general aspects of transcription processes and general rules for the composition of transcriptomes.
