The He lab has been newly opened at UCSF in July and is searching for a postdoctoral fellow who is self-motivated, curious, collaborative and responsible to lead a cross-disciplinary project at the forefront of single-cell multiomics, gene regulation and development.

Our previous work has built cell atlases of developing human tissues with unprecedented resolution (Mouse limb atlashuman limb atlashuman lung atlashuman lung immune atlas), revealing many new cell states and transition states with key regulators dynamically changing. To understand how the cell state changes are controlled by the trans-acting TFs and cis-regulatory elements, we are combining perturbations, organoids, and single-cell multiomic snapshots to decode the underlying logic of cell fate decision and execution. 

The He lab is part of the Department of Pathology at UCSF and a member of the UCSF ImmunoX program and is located at the Parnassus campus with scenic views of San Francisco, including the Golden Gate Bridge and the Sutro Forest.
