Alison
Barth
Work in the Barth laboratory focuses on the physiological and
molecular mechanisms underlying experience-dependent plasticity of the
neocortex, and on how this aspect of cortical function changes through
development.
Justin
Crowley
Using a combination of physiological and anatomical techniques,
the Crowley laboratory investigates the mechanisms related to the development
of neuronal structure and function in the visual system, as well as the
interplay between sensory experience and genetics in the generation of
neuronal circuits.
Charles
Ettensohn
Researchers in the Ettensohn laboratory study gene regulatory
networks, signaling pathways, and morphogenetic cell movements in the
early sea urchin embryo, and explore how these processes have evolved
among the metazoans.
A.
Javier López
The López laboratory uses various model systems to understand
how splicing of pre-mRNA is regulated in vivo and how alternative splicing
influences development and cellular function. Recursive splicing mechanisms
and their role in expression of very large transcription units are extensively
studied.
Brooke
M. McCartney
Research in the McCartney laboratory is aimed at elucidating
the relationship between Wnt/Wingless signal transduction and cytoskeletal
organization in Drosophila development using the APC family of tumor suppressors
as a model.
Jonathan
Minden
Using proteomics and time-lapse microscopy, the Minden laboratory
studies how cells change shape during Drosophila embryogenesis. The same
methods are employed to study early protein changes during developmentally
regulated cell death.
