Research Interest
Using microfluidic techniques and advanced molecular biology, our laboratory develops technologies to improve efficiency and accessibility of state-of-the-art methods, such as:
- Single-cell genomics, where genetic information is gleaned cell by cell. This approach contrasts with conventional strategies that average measurements over cell populations. Averages miss information about critical cell sub-populations that play a critical role in tissue homeostasis or in the development of diseases such as cancer.
- Spatial genomics, where the spatial context of sequences is preserved to study the crosstalk between tumor and stroma
- Digital PCR for biomarker quantification, in a simple format to enable testing at the Point-Of-Care and in low-resource settings
