Kevin M. Culligan We study the cellular response to DNA damage in the model plant Arabidopsis. To determine the effect of this response in eukaryotic genome maintenance, we are currently using both genetic and genomic approaches to characterize the molecular pathways involved. |

Vernon Reinhold Beyond the genome and proteome lies the glycome, the only biopolymer of the three lacking protocols for structural understanding, even though the first discovered. Our focus has been to develop ion trap mass spectrometry to unravel this complex structure and to test and apply this technology to public health problems, e.g., cancer, stem cells, H1N1 influenza, and a series of infectious diseases. |

Louis S. Tisa We are interested in genome-wide approaches toward studying host-microbe interactions in symbiosis and pathogenesis including the ability to move from an invertebrate to a vertebrate host. Other areas: Microbial physiology, genetics and genomics, microbial natural products and signaling molecules, environmental microbiology. |

W. Kelley Thomas My group studies the basic patterns and processes of genomic change and how these relate to our understanding of genetic diversity and evolution. |
