Bio-X Affiliated FacultyDr. Hanawalt's current research is focused upon the effects of DNA lesions and unusual structures on transcription elongation by various RNA polymerases, and on the examination of responses to oxidative injury in cells from patients of the DNA repair deficient disorders xeroderma pigmentosum, Cockayne syndrome and UV-sensitive syndrome. -
Philip Bucksbaum - Marguerite Blake Wilbur Professor of Photon Science, Applied Physics, and Physics
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyDr. Bucksbaum works in many areas of ultrafast laser science and technology and also works in areas that are related to x-ray free electron laser performance and science applications. -
Philip Beachy - The Ernest and Amelia Gallo Professor, Professor of Urology, of Developmental Biology and (by courtesy) of Chemical & Systems Biology
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyDr. Philip Beachy's lab studies the function of Hedgehog proteins and other extracellular signals in morphogenesis (pattern formation) and in injury repair and regeneration (pattern maintenance). They study how the distribution of such signals is regulated in tissues, how cells perceive and respond to distinct concentrations of signals, and how such signaling pathways arose in evolution. They also study the normal roles of such signals in stem-cell physiology and their abnormal roles in the formation and expansion of cancer stem cells.

Peter Tass - Professor of Neurosurgery
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyDr. Peter Tass investigates and develops neuromodulation techniques for understanding and treating neurologic conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, dysfunction following stroke and tinnitus. He creates invasive and non-invasive therapeutic procedures by means of comprehensive computational neuroscience studies and advanced data analysis techniques. The computational neuroscience studies guide experiments that use clinical electrophysiology measures, such as high density EEG recordings and MRI imaging, and various outcome measures.

Peter Sarnow - Professor of Microbiology and Immunology
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyDr. Sarnow's laboratory has been been studying the mechanism by which a liver-specific microRNA, miR-122, regulates the amplification of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) genome in cultured cells. -
Peter S. Kim - Virginia and D. K. Ludwig Professor of Biochemistry
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyDr. Kim's lab is interested in understanding the mechanism of viral membrane fusion and its inhibition by drugs and antibodies. -
Peter Pinsky - Professor of Mechanical Engineering and (by courtesy) of Civil Engineering
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyDr. Pinsky works in the theory and practice of computational mechanics with a particular interest in multiphysics problems in biomechanics. -
Peter Parham - Professor of Structural Biology and (by courtesy) of Microbiology & Immunology
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyThe Parham laboratory investigates the biology, genetics, and evolution of Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class I molecules, natural killer (NK) cell receptors, and other immune system molecules. -
Peter Kao - Associate Professor of Medicine (Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine)
