Lab Website Sridharan Lab Biography Research Interests The main scientific focus of the lab is in defining how the epigenome controls cell fate. During the development of a multicellular organism a single cell can give rise to an entire organism made of a multitude of cells of specialized function. Such functional specification is determined both by the …
Lab Website The Svaren Lab Biography Research Interests Our laboratory is devoted to research on transcriptional and epigenomic regulation of myelination and pathogenesis/treatment of peripheral neuropathies. I have a long standing interest in the interplay of chromatin structure and gene regulation, and we were the first to develop chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis to identify regulatory elements …
Lab Website Tang Lab Biography Research Interests We are interested in developing novel molecules for treating human diseases and facilitating the study of cell biology. Our research covers many aspects of pharmacology. We are particularly interested in developing novel molecules that can selectively degrade disease-causing proteins, which include a wide range of oncogenic proteins and …
Biography Research Interests My laboratory does biology research in engineered tissues, at the interface of cell biology and engineering. My laboratory uses these techniques to investigate the role of the microenvironment in disease progression. Specifically, we leverage bottom-up tissue engineering strategies (including microphysiological systems) to recapitulate vascularized environments in disease states, and the role of …

Biography Research Interests The Wenthur laboratory is currently exploring how the immune system can alter the function of brain reward systems, as a means to develop new therapeutics for addiction and associated psychiatric illnesses. Within this overall effort, there are multiple interconnected projects crafted to support rapid translation of these findings and improve human health. …
Lab Website Zhao Lab Biography Research Interests The molecular mechanisms that regulate neural stem cells and neurodevelopment with the goal of applying this knowledge in the treatment of neurodevelopmental disorders. Stem cells are responsible for generating all the tissues and cells of an organism during development. In adult mammals, stem cells exist in many tissues …
