Faculty

Ashley E. Bruce

☀ Accepting Applications
Our goal is to understand how morphogenesis and embryonic tissue patterning are linked. We use cellular, molecular and embryological techniques to study these questions in the zebrafish embryo. 
_{Campus: St. George (downtown)}

Leslie T. Buck

We use a comparative neurobiological/physiological/molecular approach to understand how animals survive environmental extremes, in particular how painted turtles and goldfish survive without oxygen for weeks. 
_{Campus: St. George (downtown)}

Dorothea Godt

Analysis of molecular networks that drive cell shape changes, cell migration, and cell and tissue architecture during animal development. 
_{Campus: St. George (downtown)}

Daphne Goring

My overall research interests are to understand how plant cells communicate through signal transduction pathways to regulate plant reproduction in the Brassicaceae family (Arabidopsis and related species). 
_{Campus: St. George (downtown)}

Tony J.C. Harris

☀ Accepting Applications
We study how molecular circuits control and coordinate cell polarity, adhesion, cytoskeletal and membrane trafficking machinery to build and re-shape cells during animal development. 
_{Campus: St. George (downtown)}

Heather McFarlane

☀ Accepting Applications
We ask and answer questions about the fundamental mechanisms by which plants sense their environment through the cell wall and how plants adjust their growth in response to these signals. 
_{Campus: St. George (downtown)}

Sergey V. Plotnikov

☀ Accepting Applications
We are interested in understanding the mechanisms utilized by mammalian cells to sense and transduce physical inputs from the microenvironment and how cell migration is guided by the mechanical cues. 
_{Campus: St. George (downtown)}

Jessica Pressey

Cellular mechanisms underlying inhibitory GABAergic synaptic plasticity in the central nervous system 
_{Campus: St. George (downtown)}

Maurice Ringuette

_{Campus: St. George (downtown)}

Arneet Saltzman

☀ Accepting Applications
Understanding chromatin regulation during development using C. elegans as a model system. 
_{Campus: St. George (downtown)}

Ulrich Tepass

☀ Accepting Applications
We study the mechanisms of cell polarity and cell adhesion of epithelial cells during animal development. Our work is relevant for several human diseases, in particular cancer and blindness. 
_{Campus: St. George (downtown)}

Vincent Tropepe

☀ Accepting Applications
We study the molecular and cellular basis of neurogenesis in the brain and retina during development and in the context of regeneration. 
_{Campus: St. George (downtown)}

Rudolf Winklbauer

We study the molecular and cellular mechanisms and the tissue mechanical basis of vertebrate gastrulation. 
_{Campus: St. George (downtown)}

Melanie A. Woodin

Understanding the functioning of inhibitory synapses, both at the cellular level and within neuronal circuits.
