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.
Petrie, Howard
focuses on the production of specialized blood cells called T lymphocytes, which are central mediators of the immune response. Understanding this is central in developing treatments for immunodeficiencies resulting from environmental exposure (such as HIV/AIDS) or aging.
