Gerhard Dahl, M.D.
Professor, Physiology and Biophyics
Dr. Dahl’s research interests concentrate on ways of intercellular communication through gap junctions and calcium waves. Presently the focus is on the role of pannexin channels as ATP release pathway.

I use single cell voltage clamping to study ion currents in cells from the nervous system of the marine snail Aplsyia californica. This animal is a biomedical model for understanding alterations in the nervous system arising from everything from learned behavior to aging.

Arun Malhotra, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology
My laboratory uses X-ray crystallography and molecular biology to carry out structure/function studies of exoribonucleases and RNA modification enzymes. We are also actively collaborating with a number of laboratories on structural modeling and crystallization of a variety of other proteins.

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.

"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."

Brant Watson, Ph.D.
Professor, Neurology
"My laboratory has been devoted to experimental stroke research. Stroke is induced by laser-driven photochemical sensitization of endothelial damage in a specific cerebral artery, yielding an occlusive thrombus composed either of platelets only, or a mixture of platelets, fibrin, and red blood cells. Both kinds of thrombi can be dissolved and circulation to the brain restored by means of ultraviolet laser irradiation, thus alleviating the stroke."
