How do cells sense metabolites to drive their growth and proliferation?  We seek to study metabolites not only as nutrients but as cellular instruction signals that dictate cell biology. 

The Wang Lab studies neurodegeneration and cell death induced by brain injury, mitochondrial dysfunction, and/or genome instability.

We employ a variety of methods including evolutionary analysis, genomics, and molecular biology to study the biology of infection.

Our laboratory is interested in investigating the molecular mechanisms of selenoproteins in health and disease.

Research in the Rothermel Laboratory focuses on deciphering the molecular mechanisms that control cardiac structure and function during normal development and in response to pathological stress.

Our lab is interested in addressing a fundamental question of cell biology: How are organelles spatially organized?
