Biography

Srinjan Basu is an Assistant Professor at Imperial College London specializing in Cell Developmental Biology within the Department of Life Sciences. His research lab aims to provide a single-molecule perspective on cellular processes during mammalian embryo development. Srinjan's interests lie in understanding how molecular interactions determine cellular responses to signals and the decision-making processes that occur in early embryonic development, particularly when these processes become dysregulated in disease contexts. He earned a Natural Sciences degree from the University of Cambridge and pursued a PhD at Harvard University, where he developed advanced imaging techniques to study molecular changes within nuclei at single-molecule resolution. His postdoctoral work involved refining these methods to investigate DNA dynamics and chromatin binding proteins at single-cell resolution. Now at Imperial College London, Srinjan focuses on how cells differentiate in early mammalian embryo development, especially in the context of developmental disorders.
