Paul Macdonald Mr. and Mrs. Robert P. Doherty, Jr. Regents Chair In Molecular Biology Email web site	Regulation of gene expression at the post-transcriptional level has long been recognized for its essential role in early development, and has more recently emerged as a widespread phenomenon affecting the major...

Dmitrii Makarov Associate Professor in Chemistry & Biochemistry Email web site	Our work in single molecules theory is motivated by the recent developments in scanning tunneling microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and single molecule optical spectroscopy, which enable experimenters to ...

Edward Marcotte Professor in Chemistry & Biochemistry Mr. & Mrs. Corbin J. Robertson, Sr. Regents Chair in Molecular Biology Email web site	We work in the field of systems and synthetic biology, studying the large-scale organization of proteins. Essentially, we try to reconstruct the 'wiring diagrams' of cells, learning how all proteins encoded by ...

Mia Markey Associate Professor in Biomedical Engineering Email web site	The mission of the Biomedical Informatics Lab (BMIL) is to design cost-effective, computer-based decision aids. The BMIL develops decision support systems for clinical decision making and scientific discovery u...

Stephen Martin Professor in Chemistry & Biochemistry M. June and J. Virgil Waggoner Regents Chair In Chemistry Email web site	The design and synthesis of small molecules that exhibit high affinities for biomacromolecules is critical to the study of enzyme mechanism and specificity and to correlating structure and function in protein-l...

Andreas Matouschek Professor in Molecular Genetics and Microbiology Email	Andreas earned his first degree in biology at the Ludwig Maximilians University Munich and a Ph.D. with Alan Fersht in the chemistry department of the University of Cambridge. He then did a postdoc with Jeff S...

Mikhail Matz Assistant Professor, Integrative Biology Email web site	We are an ecological genomics lab working predominantly with reef-building corals. Our main research projects are: (1) Adaptive genetic variation in reef-building corals. We use genetics and genomics to disc...

Michael Mauk Professor of Neurobiology Email web site	We investigate information processing and learning in the cerebellum and prefrontal cortex. The levels of analysis are: 1) behavioral studies, reversible lesions and in vivo recordings of neural activity relate...

Jennifer Maynard Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering Email web site	Building on decades of basic research in the biological sciences, fundamental principles underlying the function of complex biological systems are being elucidated in laboratories throughout the world. Concurre...

Mona Mehdy Associate Professor in Molecular Cell & Developmental Biology Email	In response to pathogens and herbivores, plants employ up-regulation and down-regulation of diverse genes to achieve resistance. Research in my lab centers on two areas: 1) molecular mechanisms of down-regula...

Lauren Ancel Meyers Professor Email web site	The Meyers lab works on problems at the interface of evolution and epidemiology. We are simultaneously pursuing projects in two areas. They are applying network theory, agent-based simulation, and other qua...

S. John Mihic M. June and J. Virgil Waggoner Fellow In Molecular Biology Associate Professor Email web site	Research in my laboratory is focused on developing a better understanding of how ligand-gated ion channels function and how allosteric modulators act on these receptors. Specifically, we use molecular, biochem...

Kyle Miller Assistant Professor of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology Email web site	DNA damage represents a formidable challenge to genome maintenance. To protect our genetic material, our cells have evolved multifaceted systems, collectively termed the DNA damage response (DDR), to detect and...

Edward (Ted) Mills Associate Professor Email web site	The broad focus of our research group is to define the molecular pathways that regulate aging and age-related diseases. In diverse organisms ranging from worms to mammals, the overconsumption of food dramatic...

Daniel Miranker David Bruton Jr Centennial Fellow in Cs #3, PHD Email web site	Professor Miranker’s research group addresses biological database infrastructure with applications in Proteomics, Genomics and Phylogeny. One research focus concerns search and mining methods for large-scale ...

Ian Molineux Professor in Molecular Genetics & Microbiology Email web site	Our major interest is understanding how nucleic acids pass through lipid bilayers. Our model system is bacteriophage T7, which uses three different motor proteins to transport its DNA into the cell at the in...

Hitoshi Morikawa Associate Professor in Neurobiology M. June and J. Virgil Waggoner Fellow In Molecular Biology Email web site	A large amount of knowledge has accumulated over the past decades implicating the central dopaminergic system in reward-based reinforcement learning, decision making, motivation and locomotion, as well as its d...

Richard Morrisett Professor in Pharmacy Email web site	My primary research interests center upon the interactions between excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters and their synaptic and cellular effects that regulate certain aspects of normal neural function as ...

Somshuvra (Som) Mukhopadhyay Assistant Professor Email web site	We study intracellular membrane trafficking in the context of normal cell physiology and human disease. Transport of proteins and lipids between membrane bound subcellular organelles is essential for life. Cel...
