Dr. Lars Velten is a computational and experimental biologist specializing in single-cell genomics, hematopoiesis, and cancer biology. He leads the Velten Lab at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona, where his team investigates how blood stem cells differentiate and how these processes are altered in leukemia. By integrating single-cell and synthetic genomics with high-throughput genetic screens and artificial intelligence, his lab aims to understand and potentially manipulate gene regulation in blood formation.
