The Mirny Lab community
The Mirny Lab is a dynamic research group at MIT dedicated to unraveling the mysteries of the 3D genome. We combine cutting-edge experimental techniques, computational modeling, and theoretical insights to understand how the intricate folding of DNA influences gene expression, cell function, and human health.
The Mirny Lab is a vibrant home for curiosity and collaboration. Lab members from diverse and multi-disciplinary backgrounds come together to tackle some of the most fundamental questions in biology. We believe in fostering a warm, positive, and productive environment where creativity thrives, ideas flow freely, and trainees and researchers are trusted with independence to pursue scientific excellence.
- We are driven by a deep curiosity about the natural world and a desire to understand the fundamental principles that govern life.
- We embrace interdisciplinary collaboration, recognizing that the most impactful discoveries often emerge at the intersection of different fields and backgrounds.
- Our collaborations with leading experimental groups are woven into our work and broaden our reach to many countries and disciplines.
“The Mirny lab thrives on self-sufficiency, generosity, kindness, and collaboration, all sparked by a touch of creative chaos.”
