Seema Agarwala Associate Professor in Neurobiology Email web site	During embryogenesis, neurons learn of their cell-fates and are assigned to specific brain nuclei (nucleogenesis), which organize brain connectivity and function. Little is known about how such complex patterni...
Richard Aldrich Professor and Chair of Neurobiology Karl Folkers Chair in Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research II The National Academy of Sciences, member Email web site	Ion channels are the molecular units of electrical signaling in cells. They are proteins that regulate the movement of ions--such as sodium, calcium, and potassium--into and out of cells. They are responsible f...
Hal Alper Assistant Professor Email web site	The goal of metabolic and cellular engineering is to endow novel and useful properties to cellular systems. Recent advances in molecular biology and genetic engineering empower metabolic engineers with an incre...
Orly Alter Assistant Professor, Department of Biomedical Engineering Fellow, Institute for Cellular and Molecular Biology Email web site	In her Genomic Signal Processing Lab at UT Austin, Dr. Orly Alter and her students use general...
Eric V. Anslyn Distinguished Teaching Professor in Chemistry & Biochemistry Norman Hackerman Professorship in Chemistry Email web site	Our research is oriented at developing artificial enzymes and sensors by synthetic and combinatorial library methods. Our synthetic projects are targeted to phosphodiester hydrolysis, enolate alkylations, and ...
Dean Appling Professor in Chemistry & Biochemistry Lester J. Reed Professor In Biochemistry Email web site	My laboratory studies the organization and regulation of metabolic pathways in eukaryotes. Eukaryotic cells are composed of many different compartments, such as cytoplasm, mitochondria, and nuclei. Although ea...
Nigel Atkinson Professor in Neurobiology Email web site	The fundamental question that drives us is: How are ion channel genes regulated and what are the consequences of this regulation? To address this question we have been using the slowpoke gene of Drosophila as a...
