Konstantinos Chronis, PhD Assistant Professor
Delineating principles of Stem Cell and iPSC biology and Developmental lineage choice. We employ multi-omic approaches, genome engineering, single cell tool development and computational technologies to delineate the TF-driven mechanisms that determine cell fate specification during mammalian development, cellular reprogramming and cancer. Our ultimate goal is to ad hoc engineer cell types for tissue regeneration
