Looking forward to my seminar tomorrow at MCDB Michigan and share our recent work (thanks to Morgan DeSantis and Sue Hammoud Lab for hosting). Hope to see you there. Tomorrow, we rewire the cell. Today I got to walk inside a cell and unpack the nucleus at the cool UMich cell exhibits

Harmit S. Malik Has anyone studied the econ of these lab 'staple crops'?

A 'Giffen good' is a staple crop that appears to violate supply&demand b/c increases in price displaces spending on alternative ventures, leading to *increase* in staple quantity demand by default.

I never thought I would be excited to learn that my picture was hanging in a bar but it is the Cold Spring Harbor Lab bar where I have spent many nights during conferences & courses discussing science. 🍷🍺🧬🔬🐭

How can we take genetic variants to their causal function & biology?

We develop in vivo Perturb-seq to identify how each mutation changes gene regulation networks, one cell at a time. Watch below video about this & stay tuned for new research from our lab ⬇️
