The molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration in human disorders like Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease remain mysterious, in part...
Mice live 3 years, dogs 15 years and humans 100 years. How does Nature change the lifespan of species? We are trying to uncover the molecular basis for...
Bullard Professor of Neurogenetics in the Department of Genetics
My laboratory is focused on understanding nervous system disease using molecular genetic strategies, beginning with human patients and proceeding through...
Dr. Kaelin's research seeks to understand how, mechanistically, mutations affecting specific genes cause cancer, with a particular focus on particular tumor... Read more about William Kaelin
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,...
Director, Biological and Biomedical Sciences (BBS) Graduate Program Professor of Cell Biology
Our research is devoted to understanding the regulation of neuronal connectivity and synaptogenesis. We combine genetic approaches with molecular biology...
Apoptosis is a prevalent and important cell fate during development and homeostasis of multicellular organisms. The long-term goal of our research is to...
