Synopsis: The Huttenlocher lab’s research is aimed at understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate cell migration and wound healing using biochemical genetic and imaging approaches. They use live imaging, biosensors and photomanipulation to examine and control polarity of cell signaling during cell migration in live animals and understand how these mechanisms are altered in tissue damage and repair.

Synopsis: The Wang laboratory works to elucidate the complex cellular mechanisms that resolve collisions, congestion, and roadblocks altering highway topology and traffic flow on busy ‘molecular highways’. The lab has also pioneered multiple methods of DNA unzipping to aid in their research.

Synopsis: Andreotti has worked to understand hematopoietic cell signaling to understand cell signaling pathways such as T cell receptors by working on substrate binding and catalytic activity of families of protein tyrosine kinases ( IL2-inducible tyrosine kinase (Itk)). The lab uses NMR spectroscopy to determine 3D structures of various protein domains and examine interactions between domains.
