Summary: Each protein has to be a particular three-dimensional shape to work properly, and misfolded proteins cause a range of diseases. My lab studies proteins in the cell that help […]

Summary: My lab studies why and how some plants get sick and others don’t at molecular level. So we are interested in the molecular basis of plant-pathogen interactions, focusing on […]

Summary: Broadly, my research group focuses on synthetic chemistry; making the molecules of tomorrow…today. We challenge ourselves in both the complexity of the molecule or the methodology we [...]

Summary: Our research delves into cellular metabolism, with an emphasis on yeast and bacteria. To achieve this, we harness the rapidly advancing field of “single-cell analysis.” [...]

Summary: The rapid spread of antibiotic resistance into bacterial pathogens is a severe problem in human health care because it restricts our ability to effectively treat life-threatening [...]

Summary: Vertebrate vision is mediated by the function of rod and cone photoreceptors, and each species generates and maintains characteristic (adaptive) ratios of rods to cones, and of specific [...]

Summary: We use genetic and genomic tools to examine: 1) the growth and health of fish and 2) the differences between fish populations with regard to their physiology. All of […]

Summary: Our research program is grounded in the development of innovative synthetic methods that advance the science of organic chemistry and enable faster, cleaner, and cheaper assembly of [...]

Summary: The research performed in my laboratory has focused on microbes collected from pre-launch spacecraft residing in spacecraft assembly clean rooms. Our research is showing that the current [...]

Summary: Research in the Parent lab focuses on the evolutionary process of diversification in lineages exposed to novel environments. Adaptation to novel (abiotic and biotic) environments is a [...]
