Patrick Cahan, an associate professor of biomedical engineering, focuses on addressing fundamental questions in the fields of stem cell engineering, developmental biology, and cancer biology. He directs the Cahan Lab and has an appointment in the Institute of Cell Engineering at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. His lab invents computational tools that distill omics data into specific, testable hypotheses for applications in Developmental Biology and Stem Cell Engineering.
He received a BS in computer science from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County; his MS in genomics and bioinformatics from George Washington University; and his PhD in computational biology from Washington University in St. Louis. He did his postdoctoral work in the lab of George Daley at Harvard Medical School and Boston Children’s Hospital.
