Filters:
Halfmann Lab
Molecular and Cell Biology
We seek to understand aging, the inexorable decline in cellular and bodily function that results from the unidirectional nature of self-assembly by supersaturated proteins.
Krumlauf Lab
Development and Regeneration
We seek to understand the genetic and regulatory bases underlying body plan formation during development and how different species evolve.
Li Lab
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.
Trainor Lab
Development and Regeneration
Our focus is on how disruptions in ribosome formation and RNA transcription result in the death of neural crest cells that give rise to development of the head, face, and digestive tract.
Yu Lab
Neuroscience
We seek to uncover how neurons in the brain are associated with sensation and behavior, primarily in how we respond to odors and pheromones.
Zeitlinger Lab
Genetics and Genomics
We seek to understand how different stretches of DNA provide information for gene transcription, expression, and regulation by developing computational tools for analyzing vast quantities of genetic information.
