A key property of living objects is that each object, whether they are proteins, cells, or whole organisms, has an associated generating process, that is, a decoding process whereby stored information is converted into a complex functioning biological object. For example, generating a protein involves translation and folding; generating an organism involves a cascade of gene regulatory and cell biological processes. We are interested in such bio-generative processes and understanding the temporal control, architecture, and evolution of these processes. Since 2007, Jim Eberwine (Pharm) and I have been engaged in multiple joint projects concerning genomics of cell differentiation and cell diversity. Our labs collaborate in all kinds of projects where we bounce ideas off each other, design and carryout experiments together, and design analysis of data together. Many of the projects described below, especially in neuroscience are joint projects between our two labs. In addition , we work o
