The Wang Lab investigates the roles of genetic factors and transcriptional regulation in skeletal diseases and bone cancer.

The over-arching theme of the Weaver Lab is to deeply understand how proteolytic factors mediate diverse physiological functions.

We are interested in the molecular mechanisms by which nuclear hormone receptors regulate lipid and carbohydrate metabolism in the liver, intestine, pancreatic islet, and central nervous system.

Our primary goal in Sieber Lab is to understand the dynamic changes in metabolic programs that support developmental and disease progression. 

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

We study how the membrane lipid phosphatidylinositol 4,5 bisphosphate (PIP2) regulates the actin scaffold in proliferating and autophagic cells.

We are interested in the function of chromatin regulation of signaling pathways important for neural development, brain tumor growth and autism pathogenesis. 

Our research is largely aimed at understanding how an organism detects mechanical force.

The Jiang Lab studies ion channels.

We do difficult experiments at the frontier of cell physiology, often with our own methods and always with our own hands.
