James Walker Professor in Molecular Genetics & Microbiology Email web site	My research interests include the mechanism by which the bacterial chromosome is replicated, how replication is controlled, and how replication is integrated with cell division. Specifically, we study compon...
John Wallingford Associate Professor in Molecular Cell & Developmental Biology Email web site	The process by which embryos acquire their final shape involves the coordination of cell fate decisions with cell movement. We are taking an integrated approach to understanding this process in vertebrate embr...
Tandy Warnow Professor in Computer Sciences Email web site	Phylogenies (i.e. evolutionary trees) are fundamental to our understanding of evolution, and their inference is a major part of research in many areas of biology. With the production of increasing amounts of b...
Lauren Webb Assistant Professor in Chemistry & Biochemistry Email web site	Research in the Webb group seeks to understand and manipulate the mechanisms of interaction, organization, and self-assembly of biological macromolecules that lead to the complex and emergent properties of livi...
Marvin Whiteley Assistant Professor Molecular Genetics and Microbiology Email web site	Bacteria exhibit many social activities and represent a model for dissecting social behavior at the genetic level (recently defined as sociomicrobiology). One example of social behavior in bacteria is the use o...
Christian Whitman Professor in Pharmacy, Medicinal Chemistry Romeo T. Bachand, Jr. Regents Professorship In Pharmacy Email web site	My laboratory is interested in how enzymes evolve and how they work. We are studying two groups of enzymes, the tautomerase superfamily and the fumaryl acetoacetate hydrolase (FAH) superfamily. Both superfa...
Claus Wilke Assistant Professor in Integrative Biology Email web site	Wilke works in the areas of computational and theoretical biology. His research can be broadly subdivided into three areas: (1) molecular evolution, (2) evolution of RNA viruses, (3) theoretical population gene...
Casey Wright Assistant Professor Email web site	My laboratory is focused on unraveling the complex regulatory mechanisms that govern the activity of the pleiotropic transcription factor nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kB), with the long-term goal of identifying ph...
