Larry Feig, Professor
The Feig group focuses on the molecular mechanisms controlling the sex-dependent effects of stress across generations.
Developmental, Molecular & Chemical Biology
The Munger lab works to unravel the mechanisms underlying HPV-associated cancers. Read a recent paper from the Munger lab.
The Raman lab studies regulation of ubiquitin pathways and their role in disease. Read a recent paper from the Raman lab.
The Chishti Lab studies platelet regulation in hemostasis and thrombosis. Read a recent paper from the Chishti lab.
Our Mission
The Department of Developmental, Molecular & Chemical Biology was formed on July 1, 2013, to integrate the traditional studies of developmental and molecular biology with the innovation of chemical biology to facilitate fundamental understanding of disease processes as well as the development of novel therapeutics. One area of focus is signal transduction mechanisms in development and disease, especially in cancer. Structural biology and structure-based drug development is a second area of strength.
Meet Our People
David Sanford, Research Assistant Professor
David uses biochemical and physical methods to evaluate drug targets for diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular disease.
Gina Powers, Postdoctoral Scholar
Gina is studying glutamatergic synapse development in the Juo lab.
Jacob Malin, Research Technician
Jacob is studying mechanisms involved in proper epithelial tissue development.
Samantha Moores
Samantha is a PhD student in the Genetics, Molecular & Cellular Biology program carrying out her thesis research in the Juo lab.
Committed to Training the Next Generation
Our department is the administrative home for the Genetics, Molecular & Cellular Biology program based at GSBS, Over 50 students are enrolled in this program and many are training in the labs of our department faculty.
Our faculty also participate in the GSBS PhD programs in Immunology, Molecular Microbiology and Neuroscience and the MS programs in Pharmacology & Drug Development and Biomedical Research.
Postdoctoral training is also an important part of our commitment to preparing the next generation of scientists.
We are committed to providing excellent mentorship and a welcoming environment for all of our trainees.
NMR Center
The NMR Center within DMCB provides instrumentation and support.
