Projects

Drosophila and their bacterial symbionts

Project Lead:
Description:

Nancy Moran's lab at the University of Texas at Austin is seeking a reliable undergraduate research assistant to help with experimental studies of insects and their bacterial symbionts.

Please find the…

Epigenetic mechanisms of gene regulation during mammalian development

Project Lead:
Description:

The Vokes lab asks fundamental questions about how embryos generate specific organs and how transcriptional repression and epigenetic regulation influence these processes. Our studies utilize mice as a genetic system…

Insects and their bacterial symbionts

Project Lead:
Description:

Nancy Moran's lab is seeking reliable undergraduate research assistants to help with experimental studies of insects and their bacterial symbionts. Please find the announcements below, and direct any questions to…

Evolution of a Social Decision-Making Network

Project Lead:
Description:

We have reconstructed the evolution of a neural social decision-making network across vertebrates and found that gene expression profiles in these behaviorally relevant brain regions are remarkably conserved. Our…

Jeffrey E Barrick

Affiliated Departments:
Chemistry and Biochemistry
Research Interests:

The Barrick lab studies evolution in action using experiments with bacteria, molecules, and digital organisms. We are interested in understanding how mutations that affect different cellular processes can promote and…

Deana Erdner

Affiliated Departments:
Marine Science
Research Interests:

Current research in the Erdner lab focuses on the genetics of bloom-forming algae, particularly toxic dinoflagellates. Examples of ongoing projects include:
- population genetics of toxic dinoflagellates…

Johann Hofmann

Affiliated Departments:
Integrative Biology
Research Interests:

The research in Dr. Hofmann's laboratory seeks to understand the molecular and hormonal mechanisms that underlie social behavior and its evolution. Current projects focus on two main areas:

1) Identifying…

Alan M Lloyd

Affiliated Departments:
College of Natural Sciences, Molecular Biosciences
Research Interests:

Molecular genetics of Arabidopsis development
Professor Lloyd is interested in plant development and cell-fate determination. His lab works at the molecular genetic, biochemical, and whole plant levels to study…

Nancy A Moran

Affiliated Departments:
Integrative Biology, Molecular Cell and Developmental Biology, Molecular Genetics and Microbiology
Research Interests:

Genomics and evolution of interactions between bacterial symbionts and their hosts. Main systems currently are sap-feeding insects and honey bees. We work with both the insects and the bacterial symbionts.
