The Ting lab develops technologies to study the molecular properties of living cells. They apply the technologies to understand signaling in the mitochondria and neuronal synapse.

Dr. Xiaoke Chen's laboratory's goal is to understand how brain circuits mediate motivated behaviors and how maladaptive changes in these circuits cause mood disorders.

Dr. Shen studies fundamental cell biology questions in the nervous system.

Dr. Weis's laboratory studies molecular interactions that underlie the establishment and maintenance of cell and tissue structure.

The current and projected research in the Swartz lab balances basic research in microbial metabolism, protein expression, and protein folding with a strong emphasis on compelling applications.

Dr. Smolke's research program focuses on developing modular genetic platforms for programming information processing and control functions in living systems, resulting in transformative technologies for engineering, manipulating, and probing biological systems.

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

Dr. Palmer's lab's research examines how neural stem cells respond to genetic and environmental cues to add and integrate new neurons into functional circuits.

The primary focus of Dr. Daniel Palanker's research is in interactions of electric field (including light) with biological cells and tissues.

Dr. Ellen Kuhl's area of professional expertise is living matter physics, the creation of theoretical and computational models to predict the acute and chronic response of living structures to environmental changes during development and disease progression.
