Biography

Michael Springer is a Professor in the Department of Systems Biology at Harvard Medical School. His research primarily focuses on understanding the relationship between genotype and phenotype, with a special interest in biochemistry and molecular design. Springer aims to investigate how cells process information from their environment and respond appropriately. He compares similar pathways related to species with duplicated genes to study the importance of quantitative features in these pathways. His work addresses questions such as how environmental factors influence gene expression and the evolutionary relevance of mRNA abundance and protein levels. Springer utilizes fluorescence read-outs to build quantitative datasets that employ appropriate numerical analytical approaches for his studies on cellular homeostasis and pH regulation.
