Dr. Rao lab's main research focus is to design, synthesize, and evaluate novel molecular probes for imaging or manipulating targeted biomolecules in normal and diseased states.

Dr. Chang's basic science research interests include modulation of Transforming Growth Factor-Beta in scarless flexor tendon wound healing and tissue engineered flexor tendon grafts for hand reconstruction.

Dr. Levenston's primary research interests relate to the function, degeneration and repair of articular cartilage and fibrocartilage, with an emphasis on understanding the complex interactions between biophysical and biochemical cues in controlling cell behavior.

The Spakowitz lab is engaged in projects that address fundamental chemical and physical processes that underlie a range of key biological mysteries and cutting-edge materials applications.

Dr. Wagner's primary research interests is cognitive neuroscience of memory and cognitive/executive control in young and older adults.

The Sidow lab's main inspiration is evolution, which is not only beautiful and surprising but also useful and relevant: specifically, they focus on the evolution of function, which they are currently exploring in cancer.

The Petrov lab does theoretical, computational and experimental work to address questions in molecular evolution and molecular population genetics.

Dr. Longaker's extensive research experience includes the cellular and molecular biology of extracellular matrix with specific applications to the differences between fetal and post-natal wound healing, the biology of keloids and hypertrophic scars, the cellular and molecular events in craniofacial development and stem cell biology.

Dr. Kirkegaard's laboratory is interested in the mechanism of the RNA-dependent RNA amplification utilized by positive-strand RNA viruses, such as poliovirus, rhinoviruses, hepatitis C virus and dengue virus in their replication.

Dr. Greely's interests in human research protections, biological enhancement, and the future of reproduction draw on, and involve, the fields of neuroscience, human genetics, and stem cell research.
