Development and Regeneration
Development and Regeneration
Our mission is to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying development, evolution, and regeneration.
Molecular and Cell Biology
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.
Neuroscience
Neuroscience
Our research integrates developmental neurobiology with systems biology and gene regulation with the goal of understanding brain wiring.
Evolutionary Biology
Evolutionary Biology
We seek to understand how animals adapt to extreme environments, resulting in unique genetic adaptations that may shed light on human metabolic conditions like diabetes and heart disease.
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.
Neuroscience
Neuroscience
Our lab investigates how distinct experiences in time may result in lasting behavioral changes. |
Molecular and Cell Biology
Molecular and Cell Biology
Our research focuses on how DNA and proteins interact to regulate gene expression.
Neuroscience
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.
Genetics and Genomics
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.
The unique collaboration between scientists in our labs and Technology Centers enables cutting-edge, solution-driven research to unravel the secrets of life.
