Raj Lab

Welcome to the Raj Lab for developmental systems biology at the University of Pennsylvania's Department of Bioengineering.

Our primary interest is in understanding the mechanisms by which development progresses in a reliable fashion despite genetic, environmental and stochastic perturbations. Understanding mechanisms of biological robustness is important for the design of synthetic gene networks. Also, the failure of such mechanisms may play a role in diseases such as cancer.
