Summary: Students in my research group study cells to understand how they both create and maintain healthy tissues. A tissue is a group of cells that are well organized and […]
Summary: Our lab studies how Parkinson’s disease affects brain cells and how we might find new treatments. We use cutting-edge tools like stem cells that can be turned into brain […]
Summary: My research aims to identify and characterize the cell types and brain circuits that drive reward and motivated behaviors. I’m particularly interested in how these pathways are [...]
Summary: Inhibition of deSUMOylation and cellular senescence as potential therapeutic targets for Parkinson’s disease: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the most common neurodegenerative motor disease, [...]
Summary: (1) Organic synthesis of novel dyes commonly referred to as “the colors of life” (chlorophyll- and heme-type molecules) to create new materials for medicine and molecular [...]
Summary: Our lab studied how birds are responding to patterns of global change. In particular, we are interested in organismal physiological and behavioral responses that have population-level [...]
Summary: Our research studies how the DNA damage response is affected by mechanical challenges. The goal of this project is to develop a protocol to enhance repair and survival of […]
Summary: The Simler-Williamson lab’s research focuses on the ecology and evolution of emerging infectious diseases and other changing host-microbe interactions, using plant species models. [...]
Summary: I study infectious disease surveillance and run the clinical testing lab at Boise State. We also study wildlife populations to measure their fitness as an indicator of environmental [...]
