Neural circuits and behavior in larval zebrafish

The general goal of the laboratory is the comprehensive identification and examination of neural circuits controlling behavior using the larval zebrafish as a model system. To that end, we have established...

Structural biology of signaling and transport through biological membranes.

My lab is broadly interested in the mechanisms of signaling and transport across cellular membranes. We use a variety of cell-based and in vitro biochemical assays, x-ray...

Former Chair of the Biophysics Program at Harvard University

Our research program currently has two major areas of focus: 1) Structural and biochemical characterization of the cell entry pathway of polio and related viruses, 2) Structural...

My research interests lie at the interface of information science, molecular engineering, and biology.  We are interested in engineering digitally...

Development and application of new technologies that facilitate understanding of how immune cells collectively perform systems-level functions in health and disease.

The interdisciplinary research in the Shalek Lab aims to create and implement new...

The Adelman lab studies the changes in gene regulation and epigenetics that drive development and stress-responses. 

Cell-type and condition-specific patterns of gene expression are established through a sophisticated network of interactions between...

We use both theory and experiments to study evolutionary dynamics and population genetics, particularly in situations where natural selection is pervasive.

Natural selection and other evolutionary forces lead to particular patterns of evolutionary...

The Loparo laboratory is focused on using biochemical and biophysical tools to study the mechanisms of genome maintenance with molecular resolution.

My laboratory is focused on developing and applying single-molecule methods to understand the dynamics...

microRNA and RNA interference mechanisms, neuroendocrine control of detoxification, immunity, metabolism, aging, and microbial diversity

Research in the Ruvkun lab has explored three major themes: microRNA genes and other small RNAs, control of longevity...

We study receptor-ligand interactions and transmembrane signal transmission that are relevant to immunology, hemostasis, and human disease using structural, cell biological, and single molecule techniques.

We work on receptor-ligand interactions and...

Members of the Zhuang laboratory apply their diverse backgrounds in physics,  chemistry, biology, and engineering to develop advanced imaging methods and to exploit these tools to study a variety of interesting biological problems.  Understanding the...
