Biography

Priya Sivaramakrishnan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania. She holds an MSc in Human Genetics from Sri Ramachandra University and a PhD in Molecular Human Genetics from Baylor College of Medicine. Her research focuses on understanding the dynamics of fundamental cellular processes that are essential in developing cells, utilizing single-cell imaging and sequencing techniques to uncover principles that drive cell identity establishment and dysregulation in disease states. Her work employs the C. elegans embryo model to investigate developmental cell fate programming, precisely tracking lineage trajectories and characterizing fate changes in mutant individuals to link molecular dysregulations to developmental defects. Current projects include studying transcription dynamics, replication-transcription conflicts, and generating humanized C. elegans to explore molecular bases for transcription-associated developmental disorders.
