The research interests of the Schwarz lab are centered on the use of genetics to probe the cell biology of the nervous system. We use Drosophila, mouse,...
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...
For a living cell to function properly, its cellular processes must be strictly controlled not only in time but also in space. We are interested in how...
Director, Biological and Biomedical Sciences (BBS) Graduate Program Professor of Cell Biology
Our research is devoted to understanding the regulation of neuronal connectivity and synaptogenesis. We combine genetic approaches with molecular biology...
We are exploring pathogen-host interactions, particularly in the context of animal models relevant to human infection of clinically important enteric...
Our lab aims to understand the in vivo functions of certain genes identified in neurodegenerative and developmental disorders of the human brain such as...
Edward Mallinckrodt Jr. Professor of Immunopathology
We are trying to understand how circulating cells manage to leave the blood stream and home to distinct organs or tissues where they may have crucial...
