Dr. Spormann's laboratory seeks to understand the molecular basis of unusual microbial reactions and processes.

The Scott lab's research is aimed at learning fundamental molecular mechanisms of development, including gene regulation and cell-cell signaling.

The long-term goal of the Schnitzer lab's research is to advance experimental paradigms for understanding normal cognitive and disease processes at the level of neural circuits, with emphasis on learning and memory processes.

Dr. Salisbury's current research focuses on human-machine interaction, cooperative haptics, medical robotics, and surgical simulation.

Dr. Prakash's lab brings together experimental and theoretical techniques from soft-condensed matter physics, fluid dynamics, physics of computation and unconventional nano-fabrication to open problems in organismic and cellular biophysics, with a current focus on hydraulic constraints on living systems.

Dr. Pelc's primary research interests are in the physics, engineering, and mathematics of diagnostic imaging and the development of applications of imaging technology.

The long-term goal of Dr. Bill Newsome's research is to understand the neuronal processes that mediate visual perception and visually guided behavior.

The Nelson lab's research seeks to understand how cell interactions specify the correct cellular organization of complex tissues, and how structurally and functionally different plasma membrane domains are assembled and tailored to specific tissue and organ functions.

Dr. Napel's primary interests are in developing diagnostic and therapy-planning applications and strategies for the acquisition and visualization of multi-dimensional medical imaging data.

Dr. Moore's laboratory studies neural mechanisms of visual-motor integration and the neurophysiological basis of cognition (e.g. visual attention, visual awareness, and working memory).
