Building synthetic cells and creating new architectures for life for use in foundational research and practical applications.
We use genomics, genome engineering, and synthetic biology to study how natural genetic variation shapes gene expression and complex traits.
Our lab studies how signal transduction pathways are spatially organized within cells.
We study how cells coordinate their behaviors across great distances during embryonic development.
Revealing cell cycle mechanisms that regulate chromosome segregation to avoid aneuploidy, cancer and birth defects for potential cancer therapy
We study the development and post-translational regulation of the neural crest, an embryonic migratory vertebrate stem cell population
Human Genomics, Population Genetics, Computational Biology, Evolutionary Medicine
Patterning neuronal connectivity during development and regeneration
Understanding vertebrate limb and axial tissue development mechanisms and impact on human congenital malformations and regeneration in animals
We develop systems biology approaches to explore how the heterogeneity in intracellular signaling networks affects responses to cancer treatments.
I study how to recruit, train, and support the next generation of healthcare workers to serve diverse patient populations
Development of gene and cell therapies for cancer and inherited disease
Morphogen Signaling, Stem Cell Niche, Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans, Regeneration Termination, Drosophila
Dr. Redlinger-Grosse’s research focuses on the intersection of genetic counseling and psychology in genetic counseling provision and training.
Scalable methods for high-throughput engineering of synthetic protein systems with applications in neural circuit mapping and gene therapy.
How proteins explore their surroundings, self-organize, and convey information in live cells. Single molecule microscopy, meiosis, C. elegans.
The Voytas lab develops methods to precisely edit plant DNA to improve crops and to study plant gene function.
Research genetic counseling practices to improve patient experiences and outcomes, informing how to best teach genetic counseling skills
