CDB Joint Faculty

Joint Faculty
Bader, David M. Professor Cellular and molecular regulation of heart development
Baldwin, Harold Scott Professor Endothelial and endocardial differentiation, heart and lung development, valve formation
Beauchamp, Daniel R. Professor Transforming growth factor, Gastrointestinal carcinogenesis, Ras oncogene,Cancer,Cell cycle,Malignancy,Post-transcriptional modification,Proteomics,Signal transduction,Transformation,Translation
Blackwell, Timothy Scott Professor Transcriptional regulation
and mechanisms of lung inflammation, injury, and fibrosis.
Brandt, Stephen J. Professor Molecular regulation of normal and leukemic hematopoiesis
Broadie, Kendal S. Professor Genetic dissection of nervous system development, function and plasticit
Carbone, David P. Professor Molecular immunology, genetics and proteomics of human lung cancer
Chen, Jin Professor Eph receptor tyrosine
kinases in vascular assembly, tumor angiogenesis and metastasis.
Coffey, Robert J. Professor EGFR and it ligands in regulation of epithelial cell growth and differentiation; gastrointestinal neoplasia; GI stem cells
deCaestecker, Mark
 
Associate Professor Stem cell differentiation in kidney development, malignancy and tissue injury repair, and BMP signaling in pulmonary, systemic and tumor-associated vascular remodeling.
Ebner, Ford Professor Development and plasticity of synapses in cerebral cortex.
Ess, Kevin Assistant Professor

Developmental biology of the cerebral cortex and genetic aberrations that lead to epilepsy and autism.

Gamse, Joshua T. Assistant Professor We study the mechanisms that determine L/R differences in the brain, using the zebrafish as a model organism because of the molecular, genetic, and embryological techniques it makes available. Our attention is currently focused on the epithalamus (or dorsal diencephalon), a region that exhibits dramatic L/R asymmetry in many lower vertebrates.
Gannon, Maureen Anne Associate Professor Molecular and cell biology of pancreas development and function.
Goldenring, James Professor Vesicle trafficking and subcelular signal transduction in epithelial cells; gastric cancer.
Graham, Todd R. Professor We are interested in understanding how the cell assembles and maintains the ordered arrangement of membrane-bound compartments that compose the Golgi complex. We are also working to understand how the Golgi complex produces several different kinds of transport vesicles that deliver proteins to the cell surface, the endosomal/lysosomal system, the endoplasmic reticulum or newly forming Golgi cisternae.
Hatzopoulos, Antonis

Associate Professor

Develop cell-based regenerative therapies - Use stem cells as therapeutic units

Hong, Charles C. Assistant Professor Chemical Biology of embryonic development and stem cell differentiation
Janetopoulos, Chris Assistant Professor

Signaling mechanisms regulating cell migration and division and their relationship to cancer. Developing novel fluorescent techniques and microfluidic devices for live cell imaging.

Kenworthy, Anne K. Associate Professor Studying membrane microdomains and intracellulartrafficking of Ras using quantitative fluorescence microscopy in living cells
Knapik, Ela W. Associate Professor Neural crest stem cells, membrane trafficking, zebrafish, developmental biology, genetics
Magnuson, Mark Professor Directed differentiation and genetic manipulation of embryonic stem cells
Matusik, Robert J. Professor Androgen Regulation of
Gene Expression, Transgenic Mouse Models for Prostate Cancer, and Gene Therapy
Means, Anna L. Assistant Professor Cell-cell signaling in pancreatic development and pancreatic cancer

wound healing.
Orgebin-Crist, Marie-Claire Professor
Emeritus
Epididymal structure and function; development of fertilizing ability in spermatozoa
Penn, John S. Professor A Molecular and Cellular Characterization of Ocular Angiogenesis
Prince, Lawrence (Lance) Associate Professor Effects of inflammation on fetal lung development.
     
Reese, John Jeffrey Associate Professor Our lab is interested in the mechanisms of embryo-uterine interactions at the time of implantation and fetal-maternal interactions at the time of birth. During early pregnancy, a tightly regulated series of molecular signals coordinates uterine receptivity and activation of the developing embryo.

Wu, Guanqing Associate Professor Molecular and Cellular pathogenesis of human genetic diseases.
Zent, Roy Professor Role of integrins and extracellular matrix in epithelial biology
Zinkel, Sandra Assistant Professor
Molecular mechanisms to regulate apoptotic pathways in normal and malignant cells.
