BARANOV LAB
Summer School 2025
About summer school
We are always happy to see the interns in our lab. Over the past years, the experience of summers filled with initiative and excited students, brought us to the idea of creating the summer school. During the school period, each intern will receive a support to work on an independent research project under supervision. The project will combine the fields of regenerative medicine, retinal cell biology and development, advanced transcriptomics, transplantation, and functional imaging of the retinal neurons on a single cell level.

Integrated multi-omics analysis
We perform deep advanced analysis of single-cell RNA-, ATAC-, ChIP-, VDJ-, and spatial-seq data, focusing on cell specification, maturation, and cell-to-cell communication in disease and regeneration. Species include humans, dogs, mice, and axolotl. The ultimate goal is to create a “digital eye” - in silico platform to model, explore and predict cell behavior in changing ecosystem.
Microscopy and image analysis
We employ automation, artificial intelligence, and quantitative strategies to produce retinal and other organoids from human, tree shrew, and mouse stem cells. We are particularly interested in using this fascinating model to test therapies, study cell-cell interaction, model diseases, such as Alzheimer's, LHON, NAION, and glaucoma.
