Yonatan Stelzer is driven by the question of how multicellular organisms achieve variation despite identical genetic information. His research focuses on mammalian post-implantation development, aiming to establish fully data-driven quantitative models of spatiotemporal processes across diverse species. By bridging such phenomenological models with classical approaches from stem cell biology, transgenics, developmental biology, and epigenetics, Dr. Stelzer’s group has developed strategies to derive novel understanding of function and regulation of this process. Key contributions include the dissection of epigenetic mechanisms that regulate and memorize functional embryonic programs, as well as the study of non-cell-autonomous interactions, such as signaling between embryonic and extraembryonic lineages, that orchestrate cell specification and patterning of the early mammalian embryo.
