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. |
| Gitlin, Jonathan | Professor | human development genetics nutrition zebrafis |
| 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. |
