Research in Cell and Molecular Biology affords students access to a rich diversity of research comprising major areas of modern biology. These broadly defined research areas are described below, and lists of the associated faculty highlight the various strengths and interconnections within and between these areas of research. In addition, more specific information is provided by links to the individual faculty web pages. Biophysical and Structural Biology. The primary research focus of this group is the elucidation of the three- dimensional structures, functional properties, and assemblages of biological macromolecules by means of biophysical techniques (e. X- ray crystallography, cryoelectron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, electron diffraction, computational modeling, EPR and NMR spectroscopy). This research effort is part of the interdepartmental Structural Biology Program, which is based in the Institute of Molecular Biophysics. Additional research areas of faculty in this group include NMR imaging and cellular diffusion measurements, membrane biophysics, and molecular/cell biology. Students have access to a variety of superb research facilities housed in the Institute of Molecular Biophysics, Department of Biological Science, and nearby National High Magnetic Field Laboratory. The Department of Biological Science faculty listed in this group may also be members of a separately funded Molecular Biophysics Program, an interdepartmental graduate training program. George W.

Research groups in this area focus their research efforts on understanding the molecular morphology and dynamics of nuclei, flagella, muscle, and nonmuscle cell- motility systems. These groups use a variety of experimental approaches (e. NMR) to gain greater understanding of the structural components, molecular organization, assembly, and movement of dynamic systems in vertebrate and invertebrate animal cells, plant cells, and unicellular algae. Graduate students in this area benefit from use, for their research projects, of state- of- the- art equipment in the departmental Biological Science Imaging Resource (BSIR), Molecular Cloning Facility, and Hybridoma Facility and at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory.

Cellular and organismal physiology focuses on the normal vital processes of organisms. Research is directed at identifying biochemical, biophysical, molecular, genetic, and behavioral correlates of normal functioning at the subcellular, cellular, or whole- organism level. Examples of research by this group include the study of muscle and nonmuscle motility systems (e. Clarification of such processes provides insight into both normal physiology and host mechanisms that protect against pathological states. Other research is directed at clarifying means by which cells communicate by means of ion channels, signal transduction, synaptic transmission, and the regulation of hormone secretion. In addition, some laboratories investigate aspects of sensory systems, including neural encoding and integration of chemoreception, synaptic transmission in the olfactory bulb, and molecular, genetic, and behavioral correlates of taste aversion.

This group's research focuses on the molecular bases of gene function and processes that control development. Its faculty use classical, modern, and unique model systems to analyze the mechanistic bases of gene expression and regulation, to establish relationships between the structure and function of gene products, and to investigate how organisms integrate multiple signals during development. Well- staffed core facilities in the Department of Biological Science, close work with associated departments/programs (e. Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, the Institute of Molecular Biophysics, the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory), and new initiatives in computational biology and medical sciences afford access to state- of- the- art research technologies. In addition to emphasizing day- to- day interactions between students and faculty advisors, joint lab meetings and topical seminar series allow faculty and students to present and critique the latest research. The group's laboratories provide excellent breadth and balance in graduate and postgraduate training. Hank W. Bass Meiosis in higher plants; telomere dynamics; molecular cytology; maize genomics.
