VAN VALEN LAB

We are a new research group in the Department of Biology at the California Institute of Technology. Our goal is to understand how living systems and their respective viruses process information to understand both their internal state and the world around them... To that end, our group leverages the latest advances in imaging, machine learning, and genomics to measure the interactions between viruses and their hosts... We are grateful for active funding and support from the Curci Foundation, the Rita Allen Foundation, the Pew Charitable Trusts, the Susan E. Riley Foundation, the Division of Biology and Bioengineering at Caltech, the Gordan and Betty Moore Foundation, the Rothenberg Innovation Initiative at Caltech, the NIH Human BioMolecular Atlas Program (HuBMAP), the NIH Director's New Innovator Award, and the HHMI Freeman Hrabowski Scholar.
