Daleke
Lab We
study molecular mechanisms controlling
phospholipid organization in biological
membranes in health and disease, with an
emphasis on the effects of diabetes on membrane
lipid organization and the characterization and
identification of phospholipid transporters, or
"flippases."
Foley
Lab Our lab
studies the molecules that mediate hormonal
control of skin development and how these
factors contribute to cancer cell destruction of
bone
Mescher
Lab
We
are interested in the cellular interactions
required for tissue and organ regeneration and
the focus of our work is the regenerating
amphibian limb, which is able to regenerate
completely following amputation. Current work
involves an analysis of gene expression during
the period when regeneration begins and how this
gene activity is regulated by factors released
during inflammation.
Neff Lab
We
are interested in the molecular and cellular
interactions required for tissue and organ
regeneration utilizing amphibian model systems.
Current work involves differential genomics and
proteomics to identify limb regeneration
regulatory pathways with emphasis on
immunomodulatory and stem cell
establishment/maintenance pathways.
Nephew
Lab Cancer
epigenetics (DNA methylation and chromatin
remodeling). We are using microarray technology
and mathematical models to explore the role of
epigenetics in ovarian cancer cells
and resistance to chemotherapy. We also
study breast cancer, estrogen receptor biology,
and resistance to antiestrogens (breast cancer
therapies).
Quirk
Lab
Molecular mechanisms of cell development and
tumor initiation
Suthers
Lab
Walczak
Lab The
Walczak lab is interested in the molecular
mechanisms that govern mitotic spindle assembly
and chromosome segregation in both normal and
tumor-derived cells
Watkins
Lab
We
are investigating the effects of diet and
antioxidants on oxidative stress in an
insulin-dependent diabetic rat, in an effort to
understand the complex control of oxidative
stress on cellular and organismal viability
