Professor of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology
The Adelman lab aims to elucidate how cells react in a rapid yet balanced manner to external signals, at the transcriptional and epigenetic level. We use...
Our laboratory at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is a basic and translational oncology laboratory focused on studying pancreatic cancer and other RAS-driven...
The broad focus of the Alt lab is the elucidation of mechanisms that generate antigen receptor diversity in the Immune system and mechanisms that maintain... Read more about Frederick W. Alt
Our lab’s long-term goal is to create a novel gene therapy-based therapeutic to preserve and restore healthy vision for patients suffering from diseases that... Read more about Ryoji Amamoto
We are a collaborative group of genome editing scientists at the Translational Neuroscience Center of Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical...
There is now overwhelming evidence indicating that VEGF, TGFβ, PDGF, and Notch among others, the molecules that are essential for vascular formation, are...
Harold T. White Professor of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology
The bithorax complex in the fruit fly is a cluster of “homeotic” genes which confer distinct identities on the different segments of the fly. The genes...
Richard and Susan Smith Distinguished Professor of Medicine
In erythrocytes, Protein 4.1R is essential for membrane integrity. Deficiencies cause congenital hemolytic anemia. We have shown that there are many isoforms... Read more about Edward Benz
Bacterial cells come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Within a given class, however, cells typically grow and divide in such a way as to maintain...
My lab studies how organisms defend against environmental and metabolic stresses, and how these stress defenses influence aging. Most of our work involves...
Although numerous eukaryotic genomes have been sequenced, much still remains to be understood about how the genes in those genomes are regulated. The...
Professor of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology
Our lab studies eukaryotic gene expression. We are concentrating on three areas: (A) the functions and interactions of the RNA polymerase II (RNApII)...
Research in the Burns Laboratory is devoted to understanding how cardiovascular progenitor cells build the vertebrate heart during embryonic development...
Most of our genome is highly repetitive sequence derived from the activities of selfpropagating retrotransposons. Research in the Burns lab focuses on...
