Wallace Marshall is a professor of biochemistry and biophysics at the University of California, San Francisco whose research explores the fundamental design principles that govern how cells build, organize, and regenerate their structures. With a background spanning electrical engineering and biochemistry, his work integrates physical, mathematical, and engineering approaches to understand how cellular systems encode shape, control organelle size, and carry out complex behaviors, often using single-celled organisms as model systems. His lab employs a combination of genomics, imaging, and computational modeling to investigate processes such as pattern formation, cellular architecture, and regeneration, contributing to a broader understanding of how biological systems function as dynamic, information-processing entities.
