Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Reza Kalhor. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Reza Kalhor is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. He received his PhD in Molecular Computational Biology from the University of Southern California, where he studied the relationship between genome function and 3D structure. Following his PhD, he completed postdoctoral training in genetics and synthetic biology at Harvard Medical School's Wyss Institute, focusing on the storage of digital biological information in DNA. Kalhor joined the faculty in 2019 and was named a David and Lucile Packard Fellow for Science and Engineering in 2020. His research aims to advance the understanding of continuously dynamic biological processes, development of cancer formation, and the recording of cells’ experiences within their genomes. His group develops molecular technologies to write cellular experiences into genomic DNA, sequencing strategies to read this information with high cellular spatial resolution, and computational methods to reconstruct underlying biological processes based on recorded data. His work draws from fields such as genomics, molecular engineering, CRISPR-based genome editing, and computational approaches, addressing brain development, developmental anomalies, and cancer.
