Junyue Cao
Junyue Cao, Ph.D., is the Fisher Center Foundation Associate Professor at The Rockefeller University, where he leads the Laboratory of Single-Cell Genomics and Population Dynamics. His research develops scalable single-cell, spatial, and functional genomic technologies to define how cell populations change during mammalian development, aging, and disease. He pioneered combinatorial-indexing methods including sci-RNA-seq, sci-CAR, sci-fate, and sci-RNA-seq3, enabling the profiling of millions of cells and multiple molecular features. His laboratory uses organism-wide mapping and large-scale genetic perturbation to uncover cellular and regulatory mechanisms of aging and age-related disease. His honors include the NIH Director’s New Innovator Award and the Grand Prize of the Science & SciLifeLab Prize for Young Scientists. Dr. Cao received his Ph.D. from the University of Washington and his B.S. from Peking University
