Center For Genomics & Systems Biology Faculty
Professor of Biology; Faculty Director of the Cellular Analysis Core
Research Interests: Developmental and evolutionary genomics of plants. The origin and genetic programming of cell types.
Our research focuses on the role of stem cells and cellular plasticity in the plant's high capacity for regeneration. We use live imaging and global analysis of specific cell types to model the dynamics of tissue repair in high resolution during organ regeneration.
Assistant Professor of Biology
Research Interests: Multicellular organization in health and disease. Cell biology. Cancer and developmental biology. Social behaviors in cells.
Carroll and Milton Petrie Professor; Professor of Biology
Research Interests: Plant Systems Biology and Evolutionary Genomics
Our research in Plant Systems Biology aims to predictively model and manipulate gene regulatory networks affecting nitrogen-regulation of metabolism and root development exploiting the genomes of Arabidopsis and its natural variants. We have also developed phylogenomic approaches to identify genes associated with the evolution of key plant traits such as seeds.
Associate Professor of Biology
Research Interests: Comparative and functional genomics of endospore-forming bacteria.
Our lab uses microbial genomics-based approaches to study the transcriptional regulatory network of the spore-forming bacterium Bacillus subtilis. We are also investigating the mechanisms of assembly of the spore coat, the multi-layered envelope of Bacillus spores.
Associate Professor of Biology; Faculty Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Research Interests: Developmental Genomics, Epigenetics, Chromatin
Our goal is to understand how chromatin regulates gene expression during development. In particular, we study the regulation of X chromosome transcription in C. elegans.
Professor of Biology; Faculty Director of Bioinformatics
Research Interests: Genomics of adaptive evolution, growth-rate regulation and post-transcriptional gene regulation.
What are the genetic networks that regulate cell growth and quiescence? What regulates the post-transcriptional fate of messenger RNA?
Professor of Biology; NYU-AD Faculty Director of Bioinformatics
Research Interests: Developmental systems biology.
Our laboratory is interested in the integrative analysis of diverse functional genomics data to identify groups of genes that work in specific cellular and developmental processes. We use integrative approaches to analyze and interpret large-scale datasets and to generate testable hypotheses on gene function in different biological systems, including C. elegans and mouse early embryogenesis.
Associate Professor of Biology
Research Interests: Chromosome structure and checkpoint regulation in meiosis
Assistant Professor of Biology
Research Interests: Functions of natural genome and epigenome variation in gene expression regulation, computational analysis of cis-regulatory elements and gene regulatory neworks
Professor of Biology and Physics
Research Interests: Computational biology, evolution, and biological physics
We work on problems at the interface of biology and physics, with emphasis on populations, evolution, and stochastic dynamics. We combine theoretical biophysical approaches with experiments and bioinformatics to explore systems that exhibit complex, population-level phenomena.
Professor of Biology; Director, Center for Genomics and Systems Biology
Research Interests: Genomics, genetics and evolution of early C. elegans development.
We study the genetic and evolutionary mechanisms underlying early embryonic development using a combination of molecular genetic and functional genomics approaches in the animal model C. elegans and related nematodes.
Silver Professor; Professor of Biology
Research Interests: Plant Evolutionary Genomics
We study the evolutionary and ecological genomics of adaptation and species diversification. We focus most of our work on plants (including Arabidopsis and domesticated crops such as rice), although we also investigate other systems, including social evolution in Dictysotelium. Our approach is to integrate perspectives from a wide range of disciplines, including population genomics, systems biology, developmental genetics, landscape ecology, and even archaeology.
Professor of Biology
Research Interests: Evolutionary and molecular causes of heritable variation in animals
Our goal is to understand the relationship between the molecular mechanisms that shape phenotypes within individuals and the evolutionary mechanisms that generate and maintain phenotypic variation within populations. This project requires that we identify the functional allelic variants that segregate in nature, understand their molecular mechanisms, characterize their population genetic dynamics, and build models that explain these dynamics in terms of molecular biology and ecology.
Assistant Professor of Biology
Research Interests: Experimental and theoretical approaches to understanding cell-scale biophysics in bacteria, plants
Assistant Professor of Biology
Research Interests: Bioengineering, Genomics, Neuroscience, Cancer Biology, Systems Biology
Our lab develops technologies to understand how human genetic variants cause diseases of the nervous system and cancer. We use a multi-disciplinary approach, combining genome engineering, pooled genetic screens, bioinformatics, electrophysiology, and imaging, to dissect the inner workings of the human genome and its dysfunction in autism and tumor evolution.
Associate Professor of Biology
Research Interests: Single cell genomics, transcriptional regulation, computational biology
Our goal is to understand how cellular heterogeneity encodes the molecular structure, function, and regulation of complex biological systems. We combine single cell genomics with tailored computational methods to study how cells work together to drive biological processes and behaviors.
Professor of Biology; Vice Provost for Undergraduate Academic Affairs
Research Interests: evolutionary systems biology; robustness and evolution of complex traits
Our aim is to understand the evolution of complex traits, by studying the gene-regulatory networks that underlie them. Our work uses two major model organisms (flies and yeast) as well as computational analyses.
Associate Professor of Biology; Director of Undergraduate Studies
Research Interests: Mechanisms and regulation of DNA replication; epigenetics; RNA processing
My lab uses genomics-based approaches to investigate DNA replication: we are particularly interested in how the various enzymatic activities required for lagging- strand synthesis are regulated and coordinated to ensure universally faithful replication in the face of genomic diversity.
Associate Professor of Biology; Director, Biology PhD Program
Research Interests: mass spectrometry, quantitative proteomics, dynamical systems, translation regulation, stress response, protein evolution
My research revolves around proteins, their properties, evolution, and expression patterns. I am a systems biologist who uses statistical and computational tools, large-scale quantitative mass spectrometry, and molecular biology techniques to study the dynamics of the cellular proteome.
