The Mehta Lab is combining expertise in synthetic biology and synthetic chemistry to develop fundamentally novel, modular platforms to engineer selectivity in targeting cancers. They are using principles of directed evolution and biomolecule delivery platforms to...
Erik Procko’s research primarily investigates the structures, functions, and mechanisms of transmembrane receptors and transporters, applying methods in cell biology, biochemistry, structural biology, and biophysics. Currently, the Procko lab integrates...
Emad Tajkhorshid’s lab group has established an extensive research program in developing and applying molecular modeling and simulation technologies to the investigation of structure- and dynamics-function relationships in membrane proteins and characterization...
Satish Nair’s lab focuses on understanding the basis for regulation of bacteria by small molecule natural products. His laboratory uses classical biochemical and microbiological techniques, in combination with biophysical methods (in particular X-ray...
Hong Jin has broad training in biochemistry, biophysics, and structural biology, including macromolecule X-ray crystallography, solution NMR spectroscopy, and electron cryo-microscopy. Her lab’s goal is to understand the mechanisms of essential RNA-protein complexes...
Stephen Sligar has spent his professional career focused on the discovery, development, and use of chemical and biophysical tools to understand fundamental problems in biochemistry. Sligar’s lab developed the Nanodisc platform, which allows for the generation of a...
Lin-Feng Chen researches infections that cause gastric cancer and other types of cancers. His research has uncovered Helicobacter pylori, a common stomach infection, causes gastritis, peptic ulceration, and is the strongest risk factor for the development of gastric...
Dr. Chen researches signal transduction mechanisms that underlie cellular and developmental processes in mammals using experimental approaches such as molecular biology, biochemistry, and mouse genetics. Her research with the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a...
