Dr. Hadly uses a combined field and laboratory approach to examine how ecological perturbations link or decouple levels of biological organization, because understanding the links among ecosystems, species, populations and genes is central to understanding how organisms exist, evolve and become extinct.

Dr. Elizabeth Mormino's research program focuses on combining imaging and genetics to predict cognitive trajectories over time, and the integration of novel PET scans to better understand human aging and neurodegenerative diseases.

Dr. Sattely uses a multidisciplinary approach combining chemistry, enzymology, genetics, and metabolomics to tackle problems that include new methods for delignification of lignocellulosic biomass and the engineering of plant antibiotic biosynthesis.

Dr. Elizabeth Mayne's lab uses mouse models of pediatric stroke to study how brain injuries in childhood disrupt later neurodevelopment, with a long-term goal of developing treatments to prevent or reduce cognitive disability after pediatric stroke and other acquired brain injuries of childhood.
