If he was straight up ignoring you he wouldn't have opened the email again. My guess is that he is busy and will get back to you at a later time but doesn't have the common decency and/or social skills to let you know about it.
Thanks for your help! Edited for privacy***

As you mentioned, adjusting to a new lab and institution can be stressful and time consuming. Give him some time. In your shoes, if he doesn't respond after a month or two, I would call the lab that he works in and ask to speak to him. Just me though 🙂
That's honestly the best scenario! However there are some problems:
1. I have a deadline to make for my presentation and need his input remotely in ~2 weeks
2. I don't know the actual name of the lab he is working in, only the institution
Is there a reason why you suggest I call his lab rather than his personal line?

1. Then perhaps expedite the calling process.
2. Oftentimes, if you search his name and the name of the institution that information will come up
3. I suggested so, because if he's ghosting you and you call his cell, he'll know it's you. With a landline the game is different. Also, at my institution all postdocs shared the lab phone as their offices were integrated into the main body of the lab. Your mileage may vary.
