The Center specializes in molecular mechanisms of nuclear transport, signal transduction, and gene expression. Faculty are members of different home departments, including Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, Molecular Physiology and Biological Physics, Pathology, and Microbiology. Students from various graduate programs can work for their PhD degree in our laboratories. We have postdoctoral fellows and Ph.D. students from around the world working together.
