Our group is interested in understanding the structural and biophysical determinants of membrane morphology. Active areas of interest include: mitochondrial dynamics (and cristae morphology), bacterial ultrastructure, and plasma membrane projections.... Read more about Luke H. Chao (He/ Him/ His)
Assistant Professor Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology, Harvard Medical School
Our lab studies the molecular mechanisms of sensory transduction, seeking to understand how animals detect the physical and chemical cues from their environment and transform them into cellular signals. In particular, we focus on the sense of smell in insect vectors of disease.

Giovanni Armenise-Harvard Professor of Basic Medical Sciences Department of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology, Harvard Medical School and Boston Children's Hospital Investigator, Howard Hughes Medical Institute
The overall objective of our research is to understand how protein interactions determine subcellular structure. We use direct structural approaches – principally X-ray crystallography, often in combination with electron microscopy – to determine the atomic organization of macromolecular complexes....
