Research in the Department of Molecular, Cell and Systems Biology uses multidisciplinary approaches to understanding basic cellular processes in various tissues, including the nervous system, as well as more integrative levels of analysis, including behavior. Areas of research represented in the department include the following:
- • Biophysical properties of excitable membranes
- • DNA repair
- • Transcriptional regulation
- • Mechanisms of toxicity
- • Insect development
- • Membrane transport
- • Mechanisms of mitotic chromosome
transmission
- • Telomere maintenance
- • Synaptic structure and function
- • Changes in nervous system with experience
- • Interactions of nervous and endocrine systems
- • Reproductive biology and fertilization
- • Chemokine function in wound healing and
tumor development
- • Glia-neuron signaling and sensory and motor
integrative processes
- • RNA Biology
