Biography

Bomyi Lim is an associate professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and a secondary member of the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology at the Perelman School of Medicine. He completed his B.S. in Chemical Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania in 2010 and earned his Ph.D. in Chemical Biological Engineering from Princeton University in 2015. Following his doctoral studies, he became an NIH F32 postdoctoral fellow at the Lewis-Sigler Institute of Genomics at Princeton University before joining Penn as an assistant professor in 2018. His research interests revolve around the regulation of chemical kinetics in biological systems with a focus on the inherently stochastic nature of gene expression dynamics. The Lim lab utilizes a combination of genome editing, quantitative live imaging, and mathematical modeling to study the robustness of development affected by enhancer-promoter interactions and 3D chromosomal conformations. They employ CRISPR-mediated genome editing and RNA live imaging techniques to uncover new insights into transcriptional dynamics in the context of developmental biology and disease phenotypes.
