Burris, Thomas
research focuses on chemical biology of nuclear receptors, protein molecules that mediate hormone activity inside the cell that are potential drug targets for a number of diseases including prostate, breast and colon cancers, as well as type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, metabolic syndrome and autoimmunity.
Kishi, Shuji
aims to develop a high-throughput processing system for gene identification and phenotype characterization particularly associated with age-related disorders in humans, using zebarfish as an amenable vertebrate model system.
Kodadek, Thomas
focuses his research in the area of chemical biology, deciphering the roles of the proteasome in transcription and understanding the mechanism of action of the hormone orexin.
Paegel, Brian
studies the controlled synthesis and engineering of phospholipid vesicles and emulsions, microfluidic circuit design, and directed evolution of membrane-associated transporters, pores, and receptors.
Roush, William
focuses on the total synthesis of structurally complex and biologically interesting natural products, development of new synthetic methods and strategies, and on problems in medicinal and bioorganic chemistry.
