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 William and Gwyn Shive Endowed Professor in Metabolism and Bioinformatics Email web site	Our research group combines experimental approaches with computational/bioinformatics approaches to study protein function and protein-protein interactions on a genome-wide scale. We’ve discovered a number ...
Mia Markey Assistant Professor (Biomedical Engineering) Email web site	The mission of the Biomedical Informatics Lab (BMIL) is to design cost-effective, computational decision aids for diagnosis, treatment, and management of disease. The BMIL develops decision support systems for ...
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...
Mikhail Matz Assistant Professor, Integrative Biology Email web site	We are a molecular biology and genomics lab working on (i) biofluorescence and (ii) evolution in the marine environment. We address a wide range of issues, including: - molecular biology and ...
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 web site	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...
Richard Meyer Professor in Molecular Genetics & Microbiology Email web site	Conjugation is probably the most common mechanism for genetic exchange in bacteria. Bacteria can transfer DNA by conjugation not only between different species, but also into higher organisms such as plants and...
Lauren Ancel Meyers Assistant Professor in Integrative Biology Email web site	see section bio for more info The Meyers lab works on problems at the interface of evolution and epidemiology. We are simultaneously pursuin...
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 characterizing the molecular mechanisms of action of alcohol, inhaled solvents, sedatives and anaesthetics on glycine, GABA-A and serotonin-3 receptors. We combine the te...
Edward (Ted) Mills Assistant Professor Email web site	In mammals, up to 25% of overall basal metabolic rate is devoted to a futile cycle of proton extrusion from and leak back into the mitochondrial matrix during oxidative phosphorylation. Commonly referred to as...
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...
Jennifer Morgan Assistant Professor, Molecular Cell & Developmental Biology Email web site	The process by which neurons communicate with each other is called synaptic transmission, and it underlies all human social, cognitive, motor and sexual behaviors. Communication between neurons occurs at specia...
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, motivated behaviors and locomotion, as well as its dysfuncti...
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 ...
