LEO Lab · Lee's Evolution and Omics · Founded 2023
Omics for understanding evolution.
A computational and experimental biology group at the IBS Center for Genome Engineering — studying the diversity of cellular phenotypes and evolutionary dynamics through single-cell and spatial omics.
Research Themes
