Principal Investigator
 | Nozomu Yachie (Personal website)
Associate Professor
Combining technologies in cell engineering, genome editing, and computational biology, my laboratory is trying to develop crazy cool technologies to measure the dynamics of molecules and unlock many barriers in developmental and stem cell biology. For more, see Yachie lab Researches.

 | Rina Yogo (CV)
Postdoctoral Fellow (JSPS Fellow for Research Abroad)
I worked on the biophysical study of dynamic structures and interactions of antibody glycoprotein and completed my PhD degree in Japan. I hope to develop technologies to identify protein-protein interaction networks of single cells in heterogeneous biological systems.

PhD students
 | Yusuke Kijima (CV)
PhD student (JSPS DC2 Fellow)
I'm developing technologies to record biological information (cell lineage / location) and understand the comprehensive machinery of development.
Hobby or fun fact: I love (listening) 90s alternative music

 | Nanami Masuyama (CV)
PhD student (JSPS DC2 Fellow)
I'm developing a mammalian cell lineage tracing technology.

 | Sofia Romero (CV)
PhD Student
Originally from Mexico, I moved to Vancouver to complete MASc at UBC. I joined the Yachie lab to pursue my PhD, from a past studying honey bees and their microbiome, currently I'm developing methylation sensors to understand the epigenetic phenomena involved in cellular heterogeneity.
Hobby or fun fact: 7 times marathon finisher. Love biking and animals.

MASc students
 | Arman Adel (CV)
MASc Student (NSERC CGS-M Fellow)
Harnessing genome editing and single-cell transcriptome technologies, I am developing a high-content cell type recording system to record high-resolution differentiation trajectories in genome embedded synthetic DNA memory with the goal of deciphering whole-body cell differentiation trajectories during mammalian development.

 | Rina Sakata (CV)
MASc Student
Background in synthetic biology, with an increasing interest in stem cell biology. Currently developing a technology for deciphering heterogeneous cell populations through combining genetic circuits, DNA barcoding, and single-cell analysis technologies.

 | Sean Okawa (CV)
MASc Student (Masayoshi Son Scholar)
I completed my bachelors degree at UBC studying epigenetics. After graduating I went to Yachie Lab in Tokyo, but in a twist of fate returned to UBC with Yachie Lab a few years later. I'm passionate about learning and applying cutting-edge synthetic biology technologies particularly to deciphering the "phosphocode."
Hobby or fun fact: Piano

 | Yin Liu (CV)
MASc Student
I graduated in China with a Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Science. As an undergraduate student, I used to apply biological and chemical methods to study the principles of some environmental phenomena. Attracted by cell engineering and genome editing technologies, I became a member of Yachie lab. As a MASc student, I hope to do something interesting and exciting in the field of synthetic and developmental biology.
Hobby or fun fact: (I've decided to do more) Reading
