Bacterial cells come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Within a given class, however, cells typically grow and divide in such a way as to maintain...
Gregor Mendel Professor of Genetics and of Medicine
A major area of our interest is how eukaryotic cells sense and respond to stress in the form of damage to their genetic material. When cells incur DNA...
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...
Our lab focuses on the molecular nature of innate immune interactions between microbial pathogens and the host. Pathogenic bacteria have evolved complex...
Bacterial pathogens that grow within human cells are responsible for multiple diseases and millions of deaths worldwide. The primary goal of our research...
The Lieberman laboratory studies the innate and adaptive immune response to infection and cancer. They seek to understand how cytotoxic T lymphocytes and...
Elliott T. and Onie H. Adams Professor of Biochemistry and Systems Biology
What can we build with biology? We use a synthetic biology approach to understanding biological systems through design, making new biological structures...
We are exploring pathogen-host interactions, particularly in the context of animal models relevant to human infection of clinically important enteric...
