Orion Weiner, PhD ’01
Dr. Weiner is a professor in the UCSF Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics and the Cardiovascular Research Institute and co-director of the Integrated Program for Complex Biological Systems. His lab seeks to define the molecular logic of complex cell behaviors, including how immune cells control their shape and movement and how cells establish their fate during development. The Weiner Lab often ports tools and concepts from other fields to address open questions in cell biology and frequently develops new tools when they are needed to accelerate progress.
