Indika Rajapakse, PhD, is a Professor of Computational Medicine & Bioinformatics at Medical School, with a secondary appointment in Mathematics, College of Literature, Science, and the Arts at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. He is a member of the Smale Institute.
Prof. Rajapakse’s area of research is cell reprogramming and digital biology. His focuses on the dynamics of genome organization in human cells, with an emphasis on gaining a deeper understanding of how the cell cycle guides cell fate determination. Prof. Rajapakse and his team are developing genomic and imaging technologies for determining the natural dynamics of the cell cycle and building a data-guided mathematical foundation. Their long-term goal is to develop strategies for the direct reprogramming of normal and abnormal cells.
