Faculty Directory
Our Faculty has grown to over 100 exceptional researchers focused in a variety of research specialties
Research interests include genetic network mapping in yeast and human cells, using systems biology approaches that include single cell image analysis.
We develop computational methods and an ecosystem theory of tissue function to help understand development, cancer and regenerative wound healing.
We study the regulation, function and evolution of RNA networks with critical roles in development and disease.
Developing and applying functional genomics approaches for mapping genetic, chemical-genetic, and protein-protein interactions using a yeast model system
We study how small RNA pathways related to microRNAs and RNA interference regulate gene expression during animal development.
We are interested in RNA and mitochondria, especially a naturally-occurring Neurospora mitochondrial plasmid that encodes a catalytic RNA called the VS ribozyme.
Research in the Cowen lab focuses on the biology and evolution of fungal pathogens
We investigate the epigenetic mechanisms controlling development of the cardiovascular system, and how they are disrupted to cause disease.
Mechanisms of cell fate specification, epigenetic inheritance, paediatric diseases models such as cerebral cavernous malformation and neuroblastoma.
We study how cells maintain the integrity genome and how this process is dysregulated in cancer, aging and genetic disorders.
I am interested in studying the human proteins that have the fewest publications, because that is where I believe the most new biology can be found.
My lab identifies and studies novel functions of Epstein-Barr virus proteins in manipulating cellular processes to promote cell survival and infection.
The Fraser Lab uses systematic approaches in C. elegans to probe basic problems in genetics
Our group studies cell identity by integrating diverse functional genomics data, particularly focusing on gene co-expression.
We are a signal transduction, systems biology and proteomics lab focusing on signalling pathways and cellular organization
RNA interactions and regulatory roles of human C2H2 zinc finger proteins; human proteins that become essential after viral infection as drug targets
We employ technologies to identify, study and map properties and relationships among individual functional units in the genome.
How stem cells build and maintain the brain and discovering drugs and growth factors that mobilize these cells to repair the injured brain and skin.
We use modern computational and experimental approaches to solve important problems in biomedical science such as designing protein and peptide-based therapeutics
Our lab is using live animal (Drosophila and zebrafish) and genome-scale approaches to understand biological processes.
Role of RNA-binding proteins in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in development and disease.
We study regulatory functions of the non-coding genome by focusing on lncRNAs, inter-chromosomal contacts, and genome organization.
We develop and apply genome-scale perturbation technologies to explore genotype-phenotype relationships in human and mouse cells for target discovery.
Our research focuses on mapping metabolic rewiring using mass spectrometry to understand the functions of metabolites in diseases such as cancer.
We focus on using proteomics technologies including mass spectrometry and bioinformatics to identify and characterize proteins activated in cancers
The gut microbiota, bacterial pathogens and microbial evolution.
Epigenetic regulation of stem cells during mammalian development, and its modulation by environmental factors.
Novel mass spectrometric algorithms and methods for high throughput proteomics and metabolomics applied to precision medicine.
We take an RNA-centric approach, relying on systems biology and virology, to better understand arbovirus infection in mammalian and mosquito models.
The Schramek lab leverages functional genomics to study cancer development and to develop novel precision cancer therapies.
We use zebrafish and single cell genomics to define and examine conserved genes and enhancers that regulate heart development and disease.
We study how RNA-binding proteins and non-coding RNAs regulate gene expression in Drosophila embryos and human neurons.
The main goal of our lab is to understand how interactions among membrane proteins produce either healthy or diseased cells
The Stein lab focuses on using network and pathway-based analysis to identify common mechanisms in multiple cancer types
The Taipale lab works on diverse aspects of functional proteomics, host-pathogen interactions, induced proximity, rare diseases, and tech development.
