The overarching goal of my group is to uncover the regulatory principles of vesicle-mediated cargo transport.
Singh
Dr. Singh's laboratory studies post-transcriptional gene regulation.
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.

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).
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.
