A BA graduate in Natural Sciences, and doctoral graduate in developmental neurobiology, Davies runs an interdisciplinary lab that operates across embryology, pharmacology, synthetic biology, and tissue engineering. The lab's interest in synthetic morphology and patterning dates back to a 2008 paper in which they sketched the potential field, and they have since tried to flesh-out the sketch by producing several systems to drive development-like behaviours in mammalian multicellular systems. As a lab head, Davies' main specialties are herding cats, improvising semi-lethal bits of lab...Read more
I graduated from UMass Medical school in 2016 with a Ph.D. in biomedical sciences. My graduate work focused on elucidating the molecular basis of cancer drug resistance in both leukemia and solid tumor models using a variety of molecular and genetic approaches, including genome-wide genetic screens, single-cell RNA-seq, and saturated mutagenesis. Soon after graduation, I pursued postdoctoral research under the supervision of Dr. Darrell Irvine at MIT on cancer immunotherapy using immune engineering approaches. The human immune system has huge potential in tackling harmful pathogens and...Read more
‘Chun-Jun (CJ) Guo is an Assistant Professor in the Jill Roberts Institute (JRI) for Research In Inflammatory Bowel Disease at Weill Cornell Medicine. Dr. Guo’s research program focuses on dissecting the molecular mechanisms behind microbiome-human interactions. His group will use bioinformatics, molecular genetics, metabolomics, and chemical biology approaches to examine how the microbiota metabolisms affect host metabolism and immunity in the context of health and diseases. His research program encompasses microbiome genetics, metabolomics, and mouse models coupled with a significant...Read more
