Mapping brain development, activity, and connectivity
Research in Kalhor Lab seeks to map and engineer cell fate using synthetic biology and genomics approaches. To accomplish this objective, we develop: (A) molecular technologies that write cellular histories into their genomes, (B) sequencing strategies that read out written information with spatial resolution, and (C) computational methods that reconstruct the underlying biological processes based on recorded information. We combine these recording approaches to study how cell fate and connectivity are established in normal brain development and how they are disrupted in neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders.
