The DeSimone lab seeks to uncover mechanisms responsible for the regulation of cell adhesion and migration, the emergence of collective cell movements, and the sculpting of tissues – hallmark features...
My research uses ecological and genetical approaches to explore mechanisms of adaptation and patterns of evolutionary change in natural plant populations. Plants are sedentary and therefore cannot...
Research in the Guler Malaria Lab focuses on the human-infective malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. Some of our projects are described below: We are interested in underlying mechanisms that...
The long-term goal of my research program is to elucidate the roles of peripheral and central glia and glial-glial interactions during PNS development, maintenance and disease/injury. Using Danio...
a) Cilia are hairlike organelles that project out from the cell membrane into extracellular space. Cilia are either sensory, that they sense the extracellular signals or motile, that they beat to...
I am an organismal ecologist with interests in both the ecosystem implications of physiological processes and the evolutionary underpinnings of these processes. My research centers around fundamental...
My lab studies neural mechanisms of pattern learning and recognition in the auditory system of songbirds. Songbirds can learn to recognize hundreds of songs from different individuals under...
Current work in my laboratory is focused on how the actions, thoughts, beliefs and feelings of others are represented in the brain. We refer to these processes collectively as social perception. We...
Through evolutionary history the human genome was optimized to promote survival in environments where food is mostly scarce. These survivor-genomes clash with an environment where calorie-rich foods...
