Professor of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology
The Adelman lab aims to elucidate how cells react in a rapid yet balanced manner to external signals, at the transcriptional and epigenetic level. We use...
The broad focus of the Alt lab is the elucidation of mechanisms that generate antigen receptor diversity in the Immune system and mechanisms that maintain... Read more about Frederick W. Alt
Although numerous eukaryotic genomes have been sequenced, much still remains to be understood about how the genes in those genomes are regulated. The...
Hematopoiesis serves as a useful model system for studies of cell fate determination and lineage plasticity. Lineage-specific transcription factors play...
Dr. Chen's group has developed a number of novel conditional mouse strains that have aided in their detailed characterization and elucidation of the...
The brain, which represents 2% of the body mass but consumes 20% of the body energy at rest, is therefore highly dependent on oxygen and nutrients supply...
Kurt J. Isselbacher/Peter D. Schwartz Professor of Oncology
Our laboratory is interested in the genetics of human cancer. Current projects include the use of a microfluidic device to capture circulating tumor cells...
Our lab tries to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying pluripotency and nuclear reprogramming. Pluripotency denotes the ability of cells, such as...
Assistant Professor of Stem Cell & Regenerative Biology
Skin, the largest organ we have, protects us from insults and dehydration, and facilitates sensory perception and thermoregulation. These multifaceted... Read more about Ya-Chieh Hsu
Professor of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology
The overarching goal of the Lassar lab is to understand how different cells types (i.e., articular or epiphyseal chondrocytes, ligaments and synoviocytes...
There are nearly two million Americans living with a limb amputation and even with the best modern surgical intervention, a human limb does not regenerate.... Read more about Jessica Lehoczky
Max and Anne Wien Professor of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology
Our laboratory is directed toward both 1) understanding molecular controls and mechanisms over neuron sub-type development, diversity, axon guidance-...
The vast array of forms and functions exhibited by different cell types is made possible by the organization of specialized domains within the cell cortex...
William Lambert Richardson Professor of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Biology
Several long-term research projects in human genetics are ongoing in the Morton laboratory. An overall theme is to apply evolving techniques in molecular... Read more about Cynthia Casson Morton
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
