Our department explores a range of areas within cell and developmental biology. Please see below for details.
Anthony Annunziato博士.D.
Molecular biology; Chromatin assembly and histone modifications in mammalian 细胞 and fission yeast
大卫·伯吉斯博士.D.
Cytokinesis, polarization of the cytoskeleton
Maitreyi Das博士.D.
Broad interdisciplinary approaches in cell and molecular biology and genetics, quantitative live-cell imaging, predictive models of regulatory mechanisms
埃里克·福克博士.D.
细胞组织. Mechanisms of nuclear movement and the role of nuclear movement in muscle development and disease pathogenesis.
Juan Manuel Gonzalez-Rosa, Ph.D.
Heart development and regeneration; zebrafish genetics; role of fibrosis, 炎症, and polyploidy in regeneration.
Marc-Jan Gubbels博士.D.
Host cell invasion is at the heart of apicomplexan parasite pathogenesis. 我们使用 刚地弓形虫 as a genetically tractable model to dissect this process. In addition we are analyzing the internal budding of daughter parasites during T. 刚 细胞分裂. Identification of key players in processes unique to the biology of Apicomplexa (invasion and division) is the first step towards development of more effective therapeutic options.
薇姬·洛西克博士.D.
Role and regulation of polyploidy in wound repair, aging, and disease in Drosophila
莎拉·麦克梅纳明博士.D.
斑马鱼, post-embryonic coordination, 甲状腺激素, craniofacial development; Ecology and Evolution
托马斯·塞弗里德博士.D.
Gene-environmental interactions in epilepsy and brain cancer
肯·威廉姆斯博士.D.
Central nervous system macrophages, neuroAIDS, AIDS pathogenesis, monocyte/macrophage biology
