Dr. Sergiu Pasca's lab employs state-of-the-art stem cell biology, genome engineering, imaging and neuroscience approaches to identify the dynamical processes that go awry in neural cells derived from patients with neuropsychiatric disorders, such as autism or schizophrenia, and what should be therapeutically targeted in these conditions.

Dr. Jonas Cremer's lab combines wet-lab approaches and modeling to investigate the physiology of bacterial cells and their ecological interactions. The lab's current focus is the study of gut bacteria and their interactions with each other and the human host.

The Boahen lab is bridging the experiment–computation gap by building a computer that works like the brain, feeding back and contributing to a fundamental, biological understanding of how the brain works.

The long term goal of the Frydman lab's research is to understand how proteins fold in living cells.

Dr. Guibas works on algorithms for sensing, modeling, reasoning, rendering, and acting on the physical world.

The Chu Lab develops and uses state-of-the-art technologies in spectroscopy and microscopy to interrogate biological systems.

Dr. Delp's work draws on computational mechanics, medical imaging, and neuromuscular biology to improve treatments for neurologic and musculoskeletal diseases.

Dr. Gambhir's research interests are directed at the development of techniques to study various molecular/biochemical events taking place in living animals and humans, in their natural state.

Dr. Levitt uses both molecular dynamics simulation and molecular modeling in the hopes of understanding the molecular structure and function of proteins and nucleic acids in enough detail to make accurate predictions about structure and function.
