Life relies on regulation from molecular to population scales. We are interested in advancing the understanding of living systems through conceptual and experimental work on regulation. Conceptually, we aim to explore the origins, diversity, and limits of regulatory networks. Experimentally, we aim to elucidate mechanisms that rely on RNA to regulate gene expression across space and time using the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.
