Ramanathan Lab People
The Ramanathan Lab is an interdisciplinary group of graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and research staff working at the intersection of synthetic embryology, quantitative developmental biology, and neural control of behavior. We value intellectual ownership, quantitative clarity, and tool-building when needed to answer the fundamental questions.
Prospective trainees: we are actively recruiting postdoctoral fellows and graduate students. We encourage inquiries from candidates who are excited by construction-and-control approaches to biology and who want to define problems—not just execute them.

Joining our lab
We welcome trainees from developmental, molecular, and cellular biology, as well as physics, engineering, and quantitative disciplines, who are excited by questions in development, synthetic embryology, and control of biological systems.
We are particularly interested in candidates who want to take intellectual ownership of their projects, develop new experimental or computational approaches, and work across traditional disciplinary boundaries.
Graduate students are encouraged to contact Sharad Ramanathan or current lab members to discuss potential projects and fit.
Postdoctoral candidates should email Sharad Ramanathan with a CV and a brief research statement describing their interests and how the lab’s scientific direction will help their research ambitions. Contact information for three references should be included; letters will be requested at a later stage.
