Associate Professor of Genetics

Cell architecture in C. elegans The question I am interested in is, "How do cells get the right shapes and make the right attachments to build organs?" Single cells have amazing morphologies that determine their function -- nowhere more so than in the...

We are broadly interested in molecular programs that shape cognition and behavior. Our current work centers on circulating factors (i.e. hormones)— produced by peripheral organs, influenced by environment and somatic state, and readily measured in human...

Professor of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery

Sensory transduction converts stimulus information into electrical information and is at the interface between the world around us and the brain. To understand how information is encoded and transmitted to the brain we study the sensory cells and neurons...

Immune cell modulation is an attractive strategy for the treatment of inflammatory conditions. Inflammation is critical to protecting us from dangers within (e.g. cancer) and without (e.g. microbes). But inflammation also drives much human pathology and...
