Indika Rajapakse is a Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Michigan. His research focuses on understanding the dynamics of genome organization in human cells, the dynamics of shape in cell fate differentiation, cellular reprogramming, and cancer. The lab uses a dual approach of generating time-series data in-house by utilizing human cells and applying mathematical techniques to identify patterns in the data, aiming to address major unknowns in these fields. One of his primary interests lies in the emergence of function, where he has built a highly idealized mathematical foundation that combines aspects of genome diffusion within cells and the dynamical forces between cells. He explores the trade-offs in forces that give rise to emergent functions in tissue.
