Profiles in "Molecular Biology" Expertise Area

  • Sara's research focuses on the role of genetic mutations in brain development and childhood disease. She is particularly interested in how inhibitory neurons contribute to brain function and dysfunction.
  • Scofield is an evolutionary PhD student in the Amdam Lab. His research is focused on the molecular basis of division of labor in honey bees, how these mechanisms have developed through evolutionary co-option.
  • Silvie Huijben is an evolutionary biologist who studies the evolutionary ecology of resistant organisms. Her aim is to optimize treatment strategies that minimize resistance evolution, with a focus on malaria.
  • Assistant Professor in the School of Molecular Sciences at Arizona State University. His research is at the confluence of statistical mechanics, molecular biology, hybrid modeling and large-scale computer simulations.
  • Ian Vicino is a Ph.D. student in the neuroscience graduate program working in the lab of Dr. Ian Hogue.
  • Geiler-Samerotte is an assistant professor in the Center for Mechanisms of Evolution and School of Life Sciences. Her lab investigates how basic features of cells influence the way those cells can evolve.
  • My current work is creating a peripheral neuron synaptogenesis model in order to better examine the mechanisms of Herpes Simplex Virus exocytosis from synapses.
