Dr. Vaibhav Pai is a Senior Research Scientist with the Allen Discovery Center at Tufts University. The Allen Discovery Center investigates the reading and writing of the Morphogenetic Code - how networks of cells communicate to create and repair complex anatomical shapes. Dr. Pai explores the role of bioelectrical signaling, aiming to answer a key question within what is often considered the "dark matter of biology": how information processing in cells implements robust control of large-scale patterning. Combining many tools and disciplines, his work offers numerous potential applications in regenerative medicine, cancer treatment, and bioengineering.
