Diverse control mechanisms converge to ensure that gene transcripts are expressed and processed accurately. Dissection of these interactions has proven...
Our group studies cell death/proliferation signals in relation to development and disease, particularly in skin cancer. We attempt to understand critical...
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 laboratory studies diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, with emphasis on colorectal cancer (CRC) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We use both...
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
Though it has historically focused on fundamental biological questions, the Novina lab places a significant emphasis on identifying unmet medical needs...
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....
Using a combination of computational and experimental approaches we study the processes that determine whether mammalian cells live or die. Our lab is...
