  Es on the essential, yet poorly understood processes of where and when eukaryotic cells "know" how to divide - questions that are fundamental for single-celled organisms, such as the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe that we study in
• Mary Allen, Jean Glasscock Professor Emerita of Biological Sciences
• Melissa Beers, Associate Teaching Professor in Biological Sciences
  Focus on the work I have done with the nematode worm C. elegans , studying the proteins involved in how an egg becomes an organized embryo. I have extensively used RNA interference to help determine what these proteins do. I have also spent
• Yui Suzuki, Dorothy and Charles Jenkins, Jr. Distinguished Chair in Science and Professor of Biological Sciences
  In insect evo-devo and developmental physiology. I take a multidisciplinary approach to understand how the genes and environment interact to regulate the development of complex phenotypes. My current research focuses on postembryonic de
