SPRING 2012 SEMESTER
Faculty Sponsor   Course   Sect.   Crs #   Research Interests
Aguirre, Adan               Cellular and molecular mechanisms regulating transition of “neural stem cells” into specialized neural cells during normal development. Examine how these mechanisms function in pathological situations when microenvironments are modified.
Bogenhagen, Daniel   BIO 487   T71   42697   Mitochondrial Molecular Biology
Cameron, Roger                
Chen, Emily               Breast Cancer Metastasis & Shotgun Proteomics
Colognato, Holly               How glia, which are brain cells that are essential for efficient nerve transmission and optimal brain function, develop from stem cells and specialize, both during development and following injury.
de, los, Santos, Carlos               NMR Solution Structure of Nucleic Acids and Proteins
Demple, Bruce    TBD           Trying to understand how cells defend against damaging molecules that are endogenous to cells but also produced by environmental agents
Dickman, Kate                
Eisenberg, Moises               Molecular Modeling of Biomolecules
Frohman, Michael   BIO 487   T74   41744   Regulation of exocytosis, cell shape, and mitochondrial fusion by lipid signaling pathways
Garcia-Diaz, Miguel    TBD           Understand the molecular details of different nucleic acid processing pathways. Information is then used to characterize how these pathways are affected by DNA damage and other environmental exposures, and ultimately to understand how alterations in normal nucleic acid biology can result in human disease
Grollman, Arthur               Molecular Carcinogenesis: Mechanisms of DNA Repair and Mutagenesis in Mammalian Cells
Iden, Charles               Investigations of DNA Damage Produced by Genotoxic Substances
Johnson, Francis               Inhibition of HIV-1 (AIDS) Using Rationally Designed Drugs. Effects of Chemical Carcinogens on DNA
Li, Feng-Qian               Function of signaling regulators in cell growth regulation, cancer biology and adipogenesis
Lukin, Mark                
Malbon, Craig   BIO 487   T87   42709   Signal Transduction and Gene Regulation in Differentiation and Development: Roles of Molecular Scaffolds
Prives, Joav   BIO 487   T54   41740   Regulation of Surface Receptors in Muscle Cells
Rosenquist, Thomas               Genetic Analysis of Mammalian Oxidative DNA Damage Repair
Scharer, Orlando               Chemical Biology of Mammalian DNA Repair (CURRENTLY ON SABBATICAL)
Seeliger, Jessica    TBD           Chemical biology of pathogenic bacterial membrane biosynthesis and assembly
Seeliger, Markus 
(home page)		               Examine timescales and pathways of interconversions between active and inactive conformations, how dynamics of structural elements relate to catalytic turnover of the kinase and how drug resistance mutations affect these dynamics
Takemaru, Ken-Ichi               Wnt Signaling in Development and Disease. Chibby Family Members and Ciliogenesis
Talmage, David    TBD           Signal transduction. How one pair of molecules, Nrg1 and ErbB4, interact to regulate synapse formation and maintenance
Tsirka, Styliani-Anna               Neuro-immune interactions in physiology and pathology of central nervous system
Watson, Robert               Insulin-stimulated translocation of the GLUT4 glucose transporter
Yokoyama, Noriko
