What I do

In my lab, I seek to understand design principles of biological systems and how biological networks rewire during disease progression. I bring to my biology research a blend of experimental science, engineering, and mathematics. Projects in my lab integrate advance technology, experiment, machine-learning based analysis and data-driven mathematical modeling.

My research expertise

systems biology, cell signaling, cell polarity, collective cell behaviors, Cancer Biology, Drug Discovery, computer vision, image analysis, mathematics

Professional background

Biography

Dr. Steven Altschuler is interested in discovering principles underlying cellular individuality, the emergence of collective cellular behaviors, and the evolution of drug resistance.
