Gerton Lab
Genetics and Genomics
We seek to understand how genome instability impacts cells, tissues, and organisms during development, female reproductive aging, and cancer.
By unraveling the secrets underlying fundamental biological processes, we can find innovative approaches to diagnose, treat, and prevent disease.

Molecular and Cell Biology
Molecular and Cell Biology
We seek to uncover how changes in ribosome composition impact protein production and contribute to complex physiological processes, including development, adaptation, and disease initiation and progression.
Development and Regeneration
Development and Regeneration
We seek to understand the regulation of stem cells within blood-forming and intestinal systems and how this relates to cancer in humans.
Development and Regeneration
Development and Regeneration
The primary focus of our lab is understanding the development and regeneration of the zebrafish lateral line and the potential applications for promoting mammalian hair cell regeneration to restore hearing loss or deafness.
Development and Regeneration
Development and Regeneration
Our focus is on decoding the gene regulatory networks involved in cell function of the neural crest, heart, and nervous system to uncover the mechanisms underpinning inflammation and regeneration and how they have evolved.
Molecular and Cell Biology
Molecular and Cell Biology
Our research focuses on how DNA and proteins interact to regulate gene expression.
The unique collaboration between scientists in our labs and Technology Centers enables cutting-edge, solution-driven research to unravel the secrets of life.
