Professor Savas Tay
tays@uchicago.edu
Postdoc, Bioengineering, Stanford University, 2008-2011
PhD, Optical Sciences, The University of Arizona, 2007
BS, Physics and Education, Marmara University, 2000
Dr. Tay is Associate Professor at the Institute for Molecular Engineering and Institute for Genomics and Systems Biology, at The University of Chicago. Before moving to Chicago in 2016, he was an Assistant Professor of Bioengineering at the Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, ETH Zurich.
Savas Tay is a systems biologist and bioengineer who works at the interface of biology, physics, and engineering. His overarching goal is to understand how biological systems work from an engineer’s perspective, and use this knowledge to manipulate cells and gene pathways to help cure diseases. On the technology front, his lab develops high-throughput and high-content single-cell analysis devices by integrating microfluidics and optics

Minjun Son, PhD - Postdoc
monster@uchicago.edu PhD, Physics, University of Florida, Gainesville, 2014 BS, Physics, University of Florida, Gainesville, 2008 Research interest: The NF-kappaB signalling governs the immune response in mammalian cells. Applying high-throughput microfluidic device and single cell analysis, I'm trying to answer how different combination or dynamic of environmental cues is interpreted by the NF-kappaB system. I'm also interested in developing high-throughput microfluidic device and image analysis. |
