Paul DeCaen

Paul DeCaen

Affiliation(s): Pharmacology

Paul.DeCaen@northwestern.edu
Lab Website

The DeCaen lab addresses the molecular and biophysical determinants ion channel disregulation in the disease state, and endeavor to characterize new ion channels and determine their context in cell physiology.
Daniel Foltz

Daniel Foltz

Affiliation(s): Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics

dfoltz@northwestern.edu
Lab Website

The Foltz lab is broadly interested in epigenetic inheritance, and how histone chaperones and histone posttranslational modifications contribute to identification and inheritance of epigenetic domains within chromatin. We seek to understand the basic mechanistic steps involved in the process of epigenetic inheritance of centromeres.
Alfred George

Alfred George

Affiliation(s): Pharmacology

al.george@northwestern.edu

The George lab studies the mechanisms by which ion channels mutations cause a variety of inherited disorders of membrane excitability including congenital cardiac arrhythmia, susceptibility, and epilepsy.
Songi Han

Songi Han

Affiliation(s): Chemistry

songi.han@northwestern.edu
Lab Website

The Han lab is developing novel approaches to achieve magnetic resonance sensing of molecular interactions, molecular dynamics, and structures on wet, dynamic, and active interfaces using quantum control over electron and nuclear spin polarization and polarization transfer to achieve controlled hyperpolarization.
Neha Kamat

Neha Kamat

Affiliation(s): Biomedial Engineering, IBiS

nkamat@northwestern.edu
Lab Website

The Kamat lab studies artificial cell/protocell models, membrane biophysics, emergent behaviors from synthetic membranes, and membrane stress-sensing.

Neil Kelleher

Neil Kelleher

Affiliation(s): Chemistry, IBiS

n-kelleher@northwestern.edu
Lab Website

The Kelleher lab studies enzymology of natural product biosynthesis, mass spectrometric-based studies of the "Histone Code," and development of Fourier Transform Mass Spectrometry (FTMS) for Top Down Proteomics.

Karla Satchell

Karla Satchell

Affiliation(s): Microbiology-Immunology, MSTP

k-satchell@northwestern.edu
Lab Website

The Satchell lab is broadly interested in understanding the mechanisms and biochemistry of protein toxins that play a key role in the infections throughout a host.

Krishna Shrinivas

Affiliation(s): Chemical and Biological Engineering

krishna@northwestern.edu
Lab Website

The Shrinivas lab’s vision is to understand, and subsequently engineer, how biomolecules self-organize in cells to enable the diverse functions of life. At the intersection of biology, physics, and engineering, we will work to elucidate fundamental scientific mechanisms while also pursuing translational applications to impact human health and bioengineering.

Keith Tyo

Keith Tyo

Affiliation(s): Chemical and Biological Engineering, IBiS

k-tyo@northwestern.edu
Lab Website

The Tyo lab investigates the regulation and biochemistry of metabolic networks, and toward manipulating the metabolic network to increase production of drugs, fuels, and chemicals.

Josh Ziarek

Josh Ziarek

Affiliation(s): Pharmacology, DGP

joshua.ziarek@northwestern.edu
Lab Website

The Ziarek lab is exploring the protein structure/function/dynamics relationship, molecular mechanisms of allostery, and the rational design of molecular therapeutics and tools – with a long-standing interest in G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs).
