Research Labs
The Arnoult lab focuses on genome stability, DNA repair and telomere biology.
We are interested in stem cell biology and cell fate change with an emphasis on epigenetic and post-transcriptional regulation
Telomerase, an RNP enzyme critical for chromosome end-replication, provides the subject for much of our research.
The Chuong lab is interested in the evolution of gene regulation in adaptation and disease.
Molecular evolution of enzymes and metabolic pathways; mechanistic enzymology; biodegradation of xenobiotic pollutants; bioinformatics.
Salmonella host-pathogen interactionsÂ
that contribute to persistent infection.
Mechanistic basis for individual differences in behavior and how these impact likelihood to develop mental illness.Â
Understanding transcriptional regulation: how does it work, evolve, and respond to perturbations?
The Eichel Lab investigates how neurons build their elaborate polarized architecture and how these mechanisms go awry in neurological disease states.
Genetic and molecular analysis of cell signaling, gene expression and metabolic events in regulating cellular and developmental events.Â
The Hill Lab studies how the microbiota influences the pancreas after birth.Â
Cryo-electron microscopy and 3-D reconstruction of large macromolecular assemblies and cellular structures, whenever possible in vivo.
Interactive teaching methods to increase conceptual understanding.
Myosin mutations and their effect on the heart, skeleton, and overall health.
The Niswander lab investigates novel mouse models of embryonic development with the overarching goal of providing insights into fundamental developmental processes, major human birth defects and potential clinical therapies.
Cell biology and genetics of membrane trafficking and protein degradation.
