About me

Dr. Michael Springer is a professor at Harvard Medical School. His lab studies how evolution shapes and constrains the way in which organisms respond to their environment. They analyze cellular responses in several related yeast species, using a combination of in vivo fluorescence, synthetic and genetic approaches, and numerical and analytical modeling. Michael enjoys hiking, backpacking, and spending time with his family.
