Aging

The Dou laboratory seeks to understand the biology of aging and to develop new strategies for intervening in age-related diseases. 

The Dou lab investigates the intersection of aging and cancer, with a particular emphasis on nuclear events. Their...

My lab works on regeneration and the complex molecular signaling in cell fate determination.

We are interested in sensory biology and the rebuilding of damaged sensory circuits. The hair cells of the cochlea are epithelial cells, specialized for the...

The Young-Pearse lab uses molecular approaches to study the functions of genes involved in neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental diseases.

Tracy Young-Pearse's research group focuses on two main areas.

The identification of novel therapeutic targets for...

Dr. Vijay Sankaran’s laboratory studies how human genetic variation impacts human blood cell production or hematopoiesis in health and disease.

The Sankaran Laboratory utilizes human genetics to refine our understanding of hematopoiesis and how this...

Markus Frank's laboratory defined a novel function for ABCB5 in cancer stem cell maintenance and tumor growth, and investigates the therapeutic efficacy of ABCB5 targeting in melanoma and additional ABCB5-expressing human malignancies.

Research in the...

The Murphy lab studies scarless healing during fetal development and “stem cell burnout” during aging, with the goal of coaxing skin stem cells into healing wounds by regenerating tissue instead of forming a scar.

The Murphy Laboratory focuses on...

The Slack lab seeks to translate their discoveries of the roles of microRNAs into potential cures and biomarkers for cancer and aging.

My lab has pioneered various aspects of the microRNA field and continues to make important contributions to this aspect...

Yick Fong's research aims to elucidate the full repertoire of transcription factors operating in stem cells, so that the full potential of stem cells in tissue regeneration and replacement therapy can be realized.

We study key transcriptional and gene...

Amy Wagers seeks to change the way we repair our tissues after an injury. 

Her research focuses on defining the factors and mechanisms that regulate the migration, expansion, and regenerative potential of adult blood-forming and muscle-forming stem cells.

S...

The incidence and complexity of mental illnesses and cognitive impairments associated with aging and Alzheimer’s disease underscores the need to develop novel treatments. Our mission is to generate fundamental insights into the role of hippocampal...
