The Fischer lab investigates the connection between chromatin structure, pervasive transcription and RNA surveillance, and their influence on genomic stability.
We are interested in learning gene expression control mechanisms through the lens of host-transposon interaction and how they play roles in animal development.
The Genomic Plasticity Lab studies how dynamic DNA structures and non-classical DNA modifications contribute to the formation and persistence of long-term memories, particularly in fear-related learning and memory.
The Cancer and Vascular Biology Group has been working for a number of years on the molecular basis of cell adhesion, cell migration and cell invasion.
Our group studies the mechanisms and transcriptome-wide patterns of eukaryotic mRNA translation and its regulation by RNA-binding proteins and non-coding RNA.
The Quinn Group's current research involves generating genetic models using Drosophila melanogaster to understand the initiation and progression of human cancer
The Wen Group focus on developing computational methods and models for RNA-mediated gene regulatory interactions to elucidate their impact on gene regulation, cellular identity, and the pathogenesis of diseases.
