Welcome, Zuben!
Zuben is a Scientist I at the Chan-Zuckerberg Biohub in San Francisco. He received his PhD in Physics from UC San Diego in 2024. His graduate research was primarily focused on building analytic and computational models of organelle structure formation and intracellular transport. He is now working in Adrian Jacobo's group at the Biohub to model the development and regeneration of neuromasts, a zebrafish mechanosensory organ. This research will be complemented by a close collaboration with the O'Brien lab to disentangle the roles of tissue mechanics and Notch-Delta signaling in generating homeostasis of the fly midgut.
