What we do

The Banovich Lab is focused on understanding how gene regulatory changes alter disease risk, progression, and treatment response. We use a combination of experimental and computational approaches, integrating molecular biology, genomics, and computational biology to answer complex questions in disease genomics. Our expertise lies in generating and analyzing multi-omic datasets, with a focus on identifying genetic variations that influence gene regulatory phenotypes.

With the help of advanced single-cell and spatial genomic technologies, we’re moving toward profiling gene regulation at the resolution of individual cell types. By studying gene regulatory changes in relevant tissue samples, in the correct disease and treatment contexts, we aim to translate our findings into real-world applications. Our team embraces a collaborative approach, working closely with researchers and clinicians to apply our functional genomics expertise to specific diseases and human populations. Together, we’re making strides toward improving precision medicine and personalized treatment strategies.
