Lab Website Hornberger Lab Biography Research Interests It is well recognized that mechanical stimuli play a major role in the regulation of skeletal muscle mass, and that the maintenance of muscle mass contributes significantly to disease prevention and the quality of life. Although the link between mechanical signals and the regulation of muscle mass has …
Biography Research description We seek to understand the molecular and genetic underpinnings of gut microbiome community dynamics. Our work is a necessary step to build new concepts and approaches (distinct from widespread antibiotic use) to cope with “problematic” microbial communities, such as those that predispose and perpetuate gastrointestinal infectious diseases. We expect that our work will …
Biography Research Interests Our research is aimed at understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate cell migration, and how defects in cell migration contribute to human disease. We use both in vitro approaches including cell culture systems and human studies, and in vivo studies using zebrafish as a genetic model system. Cell migration plays …
Biography Research Description The Huynh lab studies mechanisms of bacterial adaptation, pathogenesis, and antibiotic resistance, with the long-term goal to develop novel antibacterial treatments. Current research in our lab is currently exploring three themes: 1 – Cyclic dinucleotide signaling in bacterial stress response and pathogenesis: C-di-AMP is a ubiquitous nucleotide second messenger produced by thousands of …
Lab Website Jiang Lab Biography Research Interests Our research interests span the gap between biology and chemistry. We are intrigued by the roles of protein posttranslational modifications in the complexity of epigenetic regulation. The research program integrates multidisciplinary approaches to elucidate how specific modifications occur and the molecular mechanisms through which these modifications regulate gene transcription …
Lab Website Johannsen Lab Biography Research Interests Our research focuses on the molecular biology of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) nuclear proteins, their role in the virus lifecycle and the pathogenesis of EBV associated malignancies. Herpesviruses infect their hosts for life and EBV precisely manipulates growth and survival signaling pathways of B lymphocytes, resulting in their immortalization. …
Lab Website Jorgensen Lab Biography Research Interests The major goals of my research have been to discover local cell-cell interactions and molecular mechanisms that are used to establish the nascent ovarian follicle niche during follicle development, control the onset and maintenance of fetal testosterone synthesis, and stimulate the acquisition of steroidogenic activity within rogue prostate …
Lab Website Kalejta Laboratory Biography Research Interests Our lab focuses on determining the mechanisms of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) replication and pathogenesis. We are interested in HCMV because it is a ubiquitous and medically relevant virus that causes severe disease in immunocompromised patients, is the leading viral cause of birth defects, and impacts upon the etiology …
Lab Website Kalin Lab Biography Research Interests Dr. Kalin is among the most accomplished biological psychiatrists in the field. His research combines molecular, preclinical animal models, and human functional imaging studies to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of anxiety and affective disorders. His work focuses on using translational models in nonhuman primates to elucidate …
