Research in the Cyert lab has three major goals: elaborate calcineurin signaling networks; elucidate calcineurin function; and define how calcineurin recognizes and dephosphorylates substrates.

To discover cell and molecular underpinnings of circuit tuning, the Shatz lab has conducted functional screens for genes regulated by neural activity.

Dr. Arvin's laboratory investigates the molecular virology of VZV, focusing on the functional roles of particular viral gene products in pathogenesis and virus-cell interactions in differentiated human cells in SCID mouse models of VZV infection in vivo.
