Work in my lab is focused on understanding how signals in the brain lead to particular patterns of behavior. We utilize a combination of behavioral,...
Organisms possess a blueprint for life, which they transmit to their progeny. DNA (genetic information) is a major constituent of life's blueprint. It is...
The Kim Laboratory has pioneered the use of stem cell biology approaches for the study of adult lung progenitor cells and lung cancer. Through a combination of... Read more about Carla Kim
To maintain the differentiated tissues in any organism, cell-type specific genes must remain ‘on' for the lifetime of the organism in one cell type, and ‘...
The muscular dystrophies are progressive disorders of striated muscle leading to breakdown of muscle integrity. There is considerable clinical variability...
The Langenau laboratory research focus is to uncover relapse mechanisms that enhance growth and tumor propagating cell frequency in pediatric cancer....
Our major goal is to understand how lncRNAs interact with chromatin complexes to achieve locus-specific and temporally specific gene expression patterns. We... Read more about Jeannie T. Lee
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
The fundamental questions under investigation in our laboratory concern how vertebrate craniofacial form takes shape, and how disruption of this highly...
The Lieberman laboratory studies the innate and adaptive immune response to infection and cancer. They seek to understand how cytotoxic T lymphocytes and...

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
The vertebrate immune system is capable of specifically recognizing and responding to an enormous number of antigens. The interaction with antigen is...
Our lab studies the development, function, and dysfunction of somatosensory and viscerosensory circuits that mediate our sense of touch and sensations...
