About

My scientific ambition to find unifying ideas in biology, that apply across many systems, has led to work that connects varied fields such as microbial evolution and tissue regeneration. My approach to biological problems is through a sharp framing of questions, and by taking a statistical and phenomenological approach to specific problems. With an aim towards generalization, I focus on problems that are replete with puzzling experimental data. Here success requires detailed understanding of the biological process and context, something that I strive to achieve in my own work and that has led to creative and successful collaborations with experimentalists.
