معرفی
Allon Wagner is an Assistant Professor jointly appointed in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS) and the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology (MCB) at the University of California, Berkeley. He is a core member of the Center for Computational Biology (CCB) and leads the Wagner Lab, which focuses on computational immunometabolism. Prof. Wagner joined the Berkeley faculty in January 2024 and teaches courses on Computational Single-Cell and Systems Immunology.
Education
- 2021, PhD, Computer Science, UC Berkeley
Research Focus
Prof. Wagner's research integrates computational single-cell omics, systems immunology, and cellular metabolism to study immune dysregulation in disease states. His group develops data-driven algorithms to analyze single-cell molecular atlases (e.g., transcriptomics) and collaborates with experimental biologists to investigate:
- Metabolic control of immune cell function in cancer, autoimmunity, and infections
- Computational modeling of metabolite-mediated cell communication
- Development of novel tools for spatial and single-cell data analysis
- Metabolic reprogramming in T cells and macrophages
Publication Trends
His recent publications (15 shown) predominantly focus on computational immunology and metabolic regulation, with recurring themes including single-cell transcriptomic analysis of immune cells, metabolic modeling of T cell behavior, algorithm development for cell-cell communication mapping, and investigations into immune dysregulation across cancer, autoimmunity, and fibrotic diseases. Spatial transcriptomics and longitudinal disease modeling are emerging methodological directions.
Research Operations
Prof. Wagner actively recruits postdoctoral scholars, graduate students, and undergraduates for his interdisciplinary team. The Wagner Lab emphasizes collaborations between computational biologists, experimentalists, and clinicians. Research operations are supported by Sanchita Pal (spal@berkeley.edu).
