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...
Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease are diseases caused when proteins abnormally fold and aggregate in specific cell types of... Read more about Vikram Khurana
We are interested in epigenetic mechanisms that control cellular memory and genome stability in eukaryotes and use yeast and mammalian cells as model...
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...
Professor of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology
Research in the Roberts laboratory is centered on kinases, kinase inhibitors, and cancer. We work in a variety of model systems and utilize approaches varying... Read more about Thomas McCoy Roberts
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...
Why do we grow old? Why does aging cause disease? Can we slow aging or even reverse it? These are some of the greatest unsolved questions in biology....
Professor of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology
We are interested in how kinases in general, and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI3K) in particular, control malignant transformation. The work of our...
