Laboratory of Cell Behavior
Our goal is to understand how cells regulate their behavior in health and disease.
We focus on some of the most dramatic cell behaviors – cell death, migration, and engulfment (phagocytosis). These behaviors are essential for normal development and tissue homeostasis, and they go awry in many diseases.
From a living organism to human disease
We study single cells within the physiological context of a living, multicellular organism, and translate our findings to human disease. To do this, we take a multi-system approach that combines work in C. elegans, cultured cells, and human tissues.
CSHL–Northwell Health
The Yarychkivska Lab is part of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory–Northwell Health research community, where basic discovery meets clinical research.
This environment gives us access to leading-edge technologies, a strong foundation in fundamental biology, and close connections to physicians and patient-derived material.
We are hiring
We are recruiting a research assistant, a postdoc, and welcome graduate and undergraduate students.
