Scientific Leadership Council

Dr. Covert's lab's focus is on building computational models of complex biological processes, and using these models to guide an experimental program.

Dr. Cohen's research interests extend from hypothesis-driven studies in biochemistry and cell biology to discovery-driven interests in proteomics and systems biology to clinical treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia of children.

The Einav lab's goal is to better understand the roles of virus-host interactions in the viral lifecycle and pathogenesis and identify host functions required by multiple unrelated viruses.

The Bejerano Lab studies genome function in human and related species.

Dr. Davis's lab is interested in the molecular basis of T and B lymphocyte recognition, as well as the control of differentiation and functional responses in these cells.

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.

Dr. Shenoy's group (Neural Prosthetic Systems Laboratory, NPSL) conducts neuroscience, neuroengineering, and translational research to better understand how the brain controls movement, and to design medical systems to assist people with movement disabilities.

Dr. Plevritis's research program focuses on computational modeling of cancer biology and cancer outcomes.

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.
