Nikolai Slavov

Nikolai Slavov is an Allen Distinguished Investigator and associate professor at Northeastern University in the Bioengineering Department and Barnett Institute. His lab has pioneered several multiplexed experimental methods for quantifying proteins in single cells and is developing new computational methods for analyzing and understanding single-cell protein data. He organizes the annual single-cell proteomics conference (single-cell.net/) and contributes to organizing other leading conferences, including HUPO, Oxford Global, NeurIPS, and others. The Slavov lab obtained direct evidence for a new regulatory mechanism of protein synthesis (ribosome specialization) and continues to drive research in this emerging field. Research from the Slavov lab has been recognized and supported by many prestigious awards, including the Allen Distinguished Investigator Award, the NIH Director’s Award, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, and iAward from Sanofi. Nikolai Slavov received BS from MIT in 2004, a PhD from Princeton University (Botstein laboratory) in 2010 and conducted postdoctoral research in the van Oudenaarden laboratory at MIT.
