CAROLYN BERTOZZI, STANFORD UNIVERSITY
The Bertozzi Group studies cell surface interactions that contribute to human health and disease with specific projects in the areas of cancer, inflammation and bacterial infection.
Mechanisms of Neuronal Morphogenesis - how does a neuron take its shape?
Frontiers in Interdisciplinary Biosciences Seminar
KANG SHEN, DEPARTMENTS OF BIOLOGY AND PATHOLOGY
The connectivity of a neuron (its unique constellation of synaptic inputs and outputs) is essential for its function. Neuronal connections are made with exquisite accuracy between specific types of neurons. How each neuron finds its synaptic partners has been a central question in developmental neurobiology.

SOPHIE DUMONT, UC SAN FRANCISCO
The Dumont Lab is interested in how cells coordinate mechanical and chemical activities to accurately segregate chromosomes during cell division.
Frontiers in Quantitative Biology Seminar
Frontiers in Quantitative Biology Seminar
The main focus of the Cai group is single cell systems biology. They use super-resolution and live cell microscopy to study gene regulatory networks in cells and organisms.

ARJUN RAJ, UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA
The Raj lab is interested in building a quantitative understanding of cellular function. They like to develop new tools for quantifying biological processes based on imaging and sequencing and then use those techniques to help us answer questions in molecular and cellular biology.
