Molecular biologist C. David Allis investigates the histone code and its impact on gene regulation and chromosome dynamics.

Heeseon An’s lab develops chemical, biological, and proteomics tools to study protein homeostasis of sub-cellular organelles.

The Anderson laboratory studies genetic pathways that direct embryonic patterning and morphogenesis in the mouse embryo.

Chemical biologist Daniel Bachovchin designs selective inhibitors to study enzymes and pathways in cancer and immune system signaling.

The Bao laboratory investigates how the genome dictates development using C. elegans as a model.

The Baylies laboratory studies the mechanisms that form and maintain muscle both during normal development and in disease.

Cancer biologist Robert Benezra studies the molecular mechanisms of tumor growth and metastatic progression using mouse models. In addition, he studies the spindle assembly checkpoint which ensures proper chromosome segregation and is often deregulated in cancer.

The Peter Besmer laboratory focuses on normal and oncogenic receptor tyrosine kinase signaling in vitro and in vivo in mice.

Physician-scientist Ronald Blasberg focuses on the development of noninvasive imaging paradigms in living organisms using radionuclide and optical reporter systems.
