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...

The Hacohen lab consists of immunologists, geneticists, biochemists, technologists, physicians and computational biologists working together to develop...

Research in our laboratory is focused on understanding how bacterial pathogens co-opt eukaryotic host cell processes to promote infection and cause...

What can we build with biology? We use a synthetic biology approach to understanding biological systems through design, making new biological structures...
