Suzanne Gonzalez
Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health and of Pharmacology
My laboratory
focuses on neuropsychiatric genetics in diverse populations. I am particularly
interested in understanding how genetic polymorphisms within key physiological
pathways translate into clinical phenotypes of psychiatric disorders, such as
bipolar disease and schizophrenia.
Elizabeth Proctor
Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery, Pharmacology, Biomedical Engineering, and Engineering Science & Mechanics
Systems biology of complex disease. Integration of heterogeneous data types across length scales.
Tom Stewart
Assistant Professor of Biology
Evolutionary and developmental approaches to ask: how does morphological novelty evolve, and what are the causes of major evolutionary transitions?
Ilias Georgakopoulos-Soares
Assistant Professor
The development and implementation of new computational methods in genomics and molecular biology, with the aim of identifying genetic biomarkers for the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of human diseases, including bacterial and viral infections and of aging-associated diseases including neurodegenerative diseases and cancer.
