¶¶MÅ®ÆÍ

Faculty and student researchers in the Cell and Molecular Biology group work on cellular, molecular, and genetic processes in a variety of model systems. Researchers have access to excellent core resources, including a vivarium, tissue culture facility, confocal microscope/visualization facility, laser capture microscope, and genomics and proteomics facilities located within the department and the School of Biomedical Sciences.
 
Among current interests of ¶¶MÅ®ÆÍ Cell and Molecular Biology faculty are:

1. mechanisms of genetic control of various pathways, including cancer, circadian rhythms, and cellular metabolism, as well as regulation of sperm and egg function;
2. environmental regulation of cellular processes, including cellular effects of environmental pollutants and changes in bacterial function in microgravity conditions.

Members of the group are funded by the ,  and other agencies.

Graduate Training Opportunities

Graduate students in Cell and Molecular Biology are enrolled in the M.S. or Ph.D. program in Biological Sciences (Physiology concentration), or the . Students in these programs also interact with faculty and students at Northeast Ohio Medical University () and the .
