David Brewster

Graduate Student

My research is focused on evolutionary dynamics and mathematical biology more broadly. In the Cluzel lab, I develop quantitative tools to understand and predict the effects of gene regulatory network structure on the efficacy of antibiotic cocktails...

Philippe Cluzel

Principal Investigator

Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Gordon McKay Professor of Applied Physics

Area of Research: Computational/Systems Biology Educational Background: I received my PhD in Physics from Institut Marie Curie, Paris. I was a postdoctoral researcher in Physics and Molecular Biology at Princeton University.

Mayra Patricia Garcia Alcala

Postdoctoral Fellow

I have worked and am involved in projects in which we use boolean networks to model biological phenomena, such as emergence of criticallity in genetic networks, symbiosis of microbiome and host and multi-drug effect. Educational Background: I am a PhD...

David Hidalgo Vazquez

Postdoctoral Fellow

I am interested in Synthetic Biology, Ribosomes and the Cost of Cellular Life. At the Cluzel lab, my research focuses on real-time systems-level analysis of genetic networks in single cells. I'm also a teaching assistant for the LS100/MCB100 undergraduate...

Lexuan Liu

Postdoctoral Fellow

I am interested in Quantitative Systems Biology. At the Cluzel Lab, I study the molecular response of cells under stress at the single-cell level. I use the Mother Machine to quantitatively measure the molecular phenotypes arising from exposure to...

Janina Mueller

Postdoctoral Fellow

I did my PhD in Biophysics, where I studied membrane protein overexpression and developed high-throughput methods to quantify phage fitness. As a postdoc in the Cluzel lab, I'm interested in gene regulation of the flagellar network, particularly the...

Jolene Seme

Lab Administrator

Michael Singh

Postdoctoral Fellow

As a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Cluzel Lab, I am interested in developing a fluorescence correlation spectroscopy system which employs a novel form of illumination, namely, spatially-confined evanescent fields, to study intracellular molecular dynamics in...
