Dr. Krane's current research interests involve the management of pain in children using intraspinal opioids, regional anesthetics, and novel analgesic agents; and cerebral and osmolar complications of diabetic ketoacidosis in children.

Plants are increasingly vulnerable to environmental stressors—such as pathogen infection, drought, and heat—from climate change. These challenges threaten global food security and limit the carbon sequestration potential of plants. Dr. Ellen Rim's research goal is to sustainably enhance plant productivity and resilience through protein engineering. The Rim lab engineers proteins involved in plant immune and hormone signaling pathways using directed evolution in high-throughput single cell systems.

Dr. Porzig's current research is in early human developmental biology, organogenesis, and sex determination in embryogenesis.
