Nikolai Slavov
Professor Northeastern University
Nikolai Slavov received undergraduate education from MIT and a doctoral degree from Princeton University for characterizing the coordination of cellular growth with gene expression and metabolism.
The Slavov laboratory pioneered experimental and computational methods for single-cell proteomics and used them to connect protein covariation across single cells to functional phenotypes, including macrophage polarization, emergence of drug resistance priming, early mammalian development, and stem cell differentiation. These technologies provided a foundation for establishing Parallel Squared Technology Institute (PTI).
Prof. Slavov organizes the annual single-cell proteomics conference and contributes to organizing other leading conferences, including NeurIPS.
Seminars
- Utilizing single-cell technology to understand cell-to-cell protein variability, rare cell populations and functionally significant proteins
- Applying single-cell proteomics to predict therapeutic response, elucidate cell-specific disease mechanisms and inform patient stratification
- Defining robust, standardized proteomics methodologies, from sample collection and analysis to statistical protocols and generation of biomedical conclusions
- Developing a collaborative database to facilitate secure data visualization and sharing, maximizing the impact of available data
- Establishing collaborative projects amongst consortiums, academia, and industry to utilize existing datasets and generate a deeper understanding of proteomics to direct therapeutic development
