The research interests of program faculty span the breadth of molecular biology.

Faculty interests include:

• DNA replication, RNA transcription, localization and mRNA translation
• Bioinformatics and computational biology
• Intracellular regulation of cell division, signaling, cell migration and cell polarization Regulation of cell stress response and molecular assemblies
• Genetic and molecular mechanisms governing organismal development, tissue differentiation and cell fates
• Structural biology of macromolecular machines, proteins and nucleic acids
• Pathogenic mechanisms of infectious and non-communicable disease
• Drug discovery and molecular mechanisms of drug resistance and response
• Technology and methods development, including optogenetics and gene editing

Note: "MOLB Non-Training Faculty" do not serve as thesis mentors for Molecular Biology students.
