Dr. Siddharth Dey is an Assistant Professor in the Departments of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara. His research team is developing novel single-cell sequencing technologies to study how variability in the epigenome regulates gene expression heterogeneity and cell fate decisions. One of the central goals of the group is to understand how the genome or epigenome regulates gene expression, thereby influencing cellular functions. The group is also developing novel integrated technologies that enable simultaneous genome-wide measurements of the epigenome and transcriptome from the same cell with spatial resolution, to gain insights into early mammalian development, maintenance and regeneration of adult tissues, and mechanisms contributing to tumor progression.
