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...
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...
Although numerous eukaryotic genomes have been sequenced, much still remains to be understood about how the genes in those genomes are regulated. The...
My group is broadly interested in the evolution of transcriptional networks in animals. Whole genome sequence for a wide variety of organisms has shown us...
The molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration in human disorders like Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease remain mysterious, in part...
Bullard Professor of Neurogenetics in the Department of Genetics
My laboratory is focused on understanding nervous system disease using molecular genetic strategies, beginning with human patients and proceeding through...
Dr. Kaelin's research seeks to understand how, mechanistically, mutations affecting specific genes cause cancer, with a particular focus on particular tumor... Read more about William Kaelin
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 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,...
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...
