We are Genome engineers. Curious. Scrappy. Motivated.
Diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer are among the leading causes of death worldwide. Most treatments only manage symptoms – but the root causes remain hidden in the genome’s regulatory code.
Our lab pioneers genomics tools and methods to uncover these hidden switches – the control elements that drive health or disease. By finding and fixing them, we aim to transform how medicine prevents and cures devastating illnesses.
In 2020, the Najm Lab began in a quiet corner – a few benches, a handful of ideas, and the determination to ask bold questions. What started as an almost empty space has since grown into a bustling hub, filled with the energy of scientists who share a vision of reshaping human health. Today, our lab thrives on curiosity and creativity, working side by side with world-class partners.
We develop and deploy molecular tools to systematically uncover new therapeutic opportunities in human health.
