    Collapse Overview
    Dr. Seth Shipman's research focuses on cellular systems in the midst of change. His lab seeks to better understand how the order of transcriptional events during development can drive changes in cell fate, and to better intervene in diseases characterized by change, like progressive neurodegeneration and cancer. His lab takes a molecular engineering approach, leveraging the versatility of DNA as a programmable biological polymer to gather data without destroying cells, and deliver therapeutics that can modify their effect based on cell context.
