The Yang Lab is currently recruiting talented and motivated people to join us! Please visit our lab Opportunities page (http://www-personal.umich.edu/~qiongy/opportunities.html) for further information.

We are an interdisciplinary team bridging the fields of biophysics and systems & synthetic biology. We are broadly interested in understanding stochastic cellular and developmental processes and specifically how individual clocks are designed and interact to produce collective behaviors with spatiotemporal accuracy during zebrafish early embryo development. Towards this goal, my team leverages expertise in theoretical modeling, microfluidics, single-cell analysis, and live embryo imaging, to understand the processes and uncover the underlying physical mechanisms. We also reconstitute mitotic circuits in artificial cells using cell-free extracts. For more information, please check out our website: http://www.umich.edu/~qiongy
