Research Labs

DAPI Telomeres Centromeres

Arnoult

The Arnoult lab focuses on genome stability, DNA repair and telomere biology.

DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation dynamics at nucleotide resolution using C/EBPα-enhanced reprogramming of B cells into induced pluripotent cells (iPSCs).

Brumbaugh

We are interested in stem cell biology and cell fate change with an emphasis on epigenetic and post-transcriptional regulation

Telomerase Model

Cech

Telomerase, an RNP enzyme critical for chromosome end-replication, provides the subject for much of our research.

Viruses related to MER41 have independently invaded other mammalian genomes.

Chuong

The Chuong lab is interested in the evolution of gene regulation in adaptation and disease.

Tetrachlorohydroquinone dehalogenase catalyzes the reaction shown at right during the degradation of pentachlorophenol by Sphingobium chlorophenolicum, It also catalyzes the double bond isomerization shown at left at the same active site, suggesting that it arose from an enzyme such as maleylacetoacetate isomerase or maleylpyruvate isomerase, which are involved in degradation of tyrosine and benzoate, respectively.

Copley

Molecular evolution of enzymes and metabolic pathways; mechanistic enzymology; biodegradation of xenobiotic pollutants; bioinformatics.

Image of salmonella.

Detweiler

Salmonella host-pathogen interactions 
that contribute to persistent infection.

Vole

Donaldson

Mechanistic basis for individual differences in behavior and how these impact likelihood to develop mental illness. 

Genome-wide analysis of Drosophila upon MSL treatment reveals new insights into transcriptional profiles.

Dowell

Understanding transcriptional regulation: how does it work, evolve, and respond to perturbations?

Han

Genetic and molecular analysis of cell signaling, gene expression and metabolic events in regulating cellular and developmental events. 

Prairie Voles

Hiura

Our lab investigates the development of social behavior, and how neural plasticity enables organisms to adapt to their changing social environments across the lifespan.

Electron micrograph of intermediate filaments.

Hoenger

Cryo-electron microscopy and 3-D reconstruction of large macromolecular assemblies and cellular structures, whenever possible in vivo.

EFHC1b plays a role in Wnt signaling.

Leinwand

Myosin mutations and their effect on the heart, skeleton, and overall health.

GCN5 acetyltransferase activity is required for RA signaling in the developing forebrain.

Niswander

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.

Mutation of Vps20 MIMa6 rescues ILV budding defects in bro1D cells.

Odorizzi

Cell biology and genetics of membrane trafficking and protein degradation.

The overarching goal of my group is to uncover the regulatory principles of vesicle-mediated cargo transport.

RT-PCR analysis reveals differentially expressed transcripts.

Singh

Dr. Singh's laboratory studies post-transcriptional gene regulation.

Recombinant AB42.

Stowell

Our research is focused on molecular and supramolecular structures that facilitate communication between neurons at the chemical synapse and how such structures are perturbed in neurological disease.

The extra growths in regenerated disks are ectopic wing disks.

Su

Our goal is to understand how cells, tissues and organisms survive exposure to high energy radiation such as X-rays.

Voeltz

Our lab is studying how proteins generate the shape of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).

Systematic presentation of an intra-animal model to assay RIBE.

Xue

Dr. Xue's research interests lie in studying the mechanisms of programmed cell death (or apoptosis), phospholipid asymmetry in biological membranes, mitochondrial inheritance, and radiation-induced bystander effects, as well as various human diseases associated with abnormalities in these fundamental biological processes.
