Vincent Moy, Ph.D.
Professor, Physiology and Biophysics
Our lab uses the atomic force microscope to measure forces involved in biological processes, such as the adhesive events that occur during cell migration or during cell-cell interactions. Force measurements are also employed to elaborate on the energetics of vesicle fusion.

Danuta Szczesna-Cordary, Ph.D.
Professor of Molecular & Cellular Pharmacology
"My research is directed toward unraveling the mechanisms of Familial Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (FHC), an autosomal dominant disease originating from mutations in genes that encode for the major contractile proteins of the heart, including the ventricular myosin regulatory (RLC) and essential (ELC) light chains. Using a combination of molecular biological and physiological approaches we are trying to answer important questions regarding the molecular determinants of the myosin light chain mutations - mediated pathology in the heart."
