The focus of the laboratory is investigating the integration between extracellular matrix and growth factor receptor signaling during heart morphogenesis. The emphasis is on heart septae and valve formation.
Stephen Cowen
Assistant Professor of Psychology
Research Interests
My research interests revolve around the question of how the activities of ensembles of neurons drive our capacity to decide, remember, and navigate. In particular, I am interested in the role of the prefrontal cortex in cost-benefit decision making and in the role of the hippocampus in navigation and memory consolidation. I investigate these topics through the use of large-scale extracellular recording methods acquired from rodents as the animals perform a variety of decision-making and navigational behaviors.

- We are a computational group interested in the evolution of biomolecular networks. In most cases, our philosophy is to build and analyze detailed biologically-realistic models, leveraging both biochemical and genomic data.
- One thrust of the lab is developing and applying methods for fitting models of history and natural selection to population variation data.
- Another thrust of the lab is connecting genomics and detailed systems biology models.

My main research interest is the biosynthetic engineering of microorganisms (bacteria, fungi and algae) for pharmaceutical, agricultural, chemical industrial and bioenergy applications and the biosynthesis of small molecule natural products
Associate Professor, The School of Plant Sciences
Research Interests
Eukaryotes contain an array of small RNAs capable of transcriptional and post-transcriptional gene regulation. These ubiquitous molecules are part of many biological processes, including development, response to the environment, and disease. Originally identified in plants, small RNAs are now studied in diverse organisms and are an important tool in human therapeutics. Our laboratory studies the synthesis and action of small RNA molecules with particular emphasis on epigenetic modifications driven by small RNAs and RNA Polymerase IV. We combine traditional genetic and molecular studies with whole-system computational biology in Arabidopsis thaliana and other plants.

Research Interests
We are interested in understanding how plant cells communicate with each other. To accomplish this goal, we are using pollen tube interactions with pistils during Arabidopsis thaliana reproduction as a model system.
Currently, we are identifying the molecular mechanisms that underlie specific pollen tube functions in A. thaliana such as germination, growth, guidance and growth arrest in the synergid cell of the female gametophyte.
