Srinjan Basu
Regular biography
Srinjan Basu is a Fellow at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the School of Biological Sciences. His research focuses on stem cells, stem cell fate transitions, cancer, genome architecture, and chromatin. Basu develops single-cell and single-molecule imaging approaches to enhance understanding of stem cell renewal and differentiation. His work integrates biophysics, computation, and advanced imaging techniques such as single-cell Hi-C and single-molecule imaging. He is also associated with the Stem Cell Institute and the Department of Physiology, Development, and Neuroscience.
Scholar-generated biography
Srinjan Basu is an Assistant Professor in Cell and Developmental Biology at Imperial College London. His research focuses on biophysics, stem cell biology, epigenetics, and advanced imaging techniques such as single-molecule microscopy. His work explores the structural and functional dynamics of the genome, including 3D genome organization, transcription factor interactions, and chromatin regulation. Using single-cell Hi-C, live-cell imaging, and microfluidic platforms, Basu investigates how epigenetic modifications influence gene expression and cellular differentiation. His studies also address the role of chromatin in maintaining genome stability and its implications in diseases such as cancer. By integrating imaging with genomic data, his research provides insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying cellular processes.
