Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDan Wagner is an Assistant Professor and investigator at UCSF and the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub who leverages eight years of postdoctoral and faculty experience to dissect genetic programs of vertebrate development using zebrafish. His lab blends in vivo imaging, CRISPR genetics, and single-cell transcriptomics with custom bioinformatics to connect gene function to developmental phenotypes and disease mechanisms. Trained at MIT and Harvard with HHMI and K99/R00 fellowships, he combines deep experimental rigor with quantitative analysis and hands-on mentorship in single-cell methods. Based in San Francisco, he is known for translating high-resolution embryology into tractable genetic models and for teaching practical single-cell sequencing workshops that bridge wet-lab and computational practice.
