Our laboratory is interested in understanding how the ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation regulates gene expression and how failure of these pathways contributes to developmental disorders and diseases, such as neurodegeneration and cancer.

The Liu Lab is interested in the functions and mechanism of codon usage biases, circadian clocks, and non-coding RNA

D'Orso Lab studies gene regulatory networks in normal and disease states as well as in the context of host-pathogen interactions.
