Assistant Professor of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology
We are interested in understanding transport mechanisms in the cell. In particular, we are interested in how molecules are transported into, out of, and...
Organelle structure-function: We investigate how proteins self-organize in the birth, life and death of cellular compartments. Our goal is to understand...
Diverse control mechanisms converge to ensure that gene transcripts are expressed and processed accurately. Dissection of these interactions has proven...
Professor of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology
Our laboratory takes molecular approaches to herpesvirus replication and latency. These studies provide excellent models for biological processes in...
The Dong laboratory has a broad interest in microbial toxins, bacterial infections, and host-microbe interactions. We are also utilizing toxins as tools...
Director, Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering
My laboratory is interested in how microenvironmental cues, particularly mechanical forces and extracellular matrix, regulate tissue development, physiology... Read more about Donald Elliot Ingber
A. Werk Cook Professor of Radiation Oncology (Tumor Biology)
The overall goal of our research is to understand the role of the tumor microenvironment, including the tumor vasculature and matrix, in tumor growth and...
Electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM) is a rapidly advancing research area, powered by the knowledge of biology, physics, material science and computation. Single... Read more about Maofu Liao
The Megason Lab uses imaging-based systems biology to elucidate the systems level principles of animal development. We are particularly interested in long...
My lab is interested in the structure, dynamics, and function of the cytoskeleton. We use imaging-based assays in living cells and in vitro extracts, in... Read more about Timothy J. Mitchison
Our laboratory aims to understand normal cell division mechanisms and to discover cell division defects that are unique to cancer cells. We take a range...
Three main research programs at the Center for Advanced Biomedical Imaging and Photonics are: 1) in vivo optical detection of preinvasive cancer; 2)...
We are interested in the development of the vertebrate musculo-skeletal axis. Using chicken and mouse embryos as model systems, we combine developmental... Read more about Olivier Pourquie
The research interests of the Schwarz lab are centered on the use of genetics to probe the cell biology of the nervous system. We use Drosophila, mouse,...
For a living cell to function properly, its cellular processes must be strictly controlled not only in time but also in space. We are interested in how...
My laboratory is interested in the related challenges of understanding the origin of life on the early earth, and constructing synthetic cellular life in...
The Vandenberghe laboratory deconstructs viral evolution to improve viral vector design and use in gene therapy. We aim to more profoundly understand...
