Nirupa Chaudhari, Ph.D.
Professor, Physiology and Biophysics
We study mechanisms of transduction and cellular communication in sensory and other cells. We develop transgenic mouse models and fluorescent reporters to visualize cell function in real time. We also analyze patterns of gene expression in complex tissues to understand the roles and differentiation of diverse cell types.

"My research is directed toward unraveling the mechanisms of Familial Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (FHC), an autosomal dominant disease originating from mutations in genes that encode for the major contractile proteins of the heart, including the ventricular myosin regulatory (RLC) and essential (ELC) light chains. Using a combination of molecular biological and physiological approaches we are trying to answer important questions regarding the molecular determinants of the myosin light chain mutations - mediated pathology in the heart."

Brant Watson, Ph.D.
Professor, Neurology
"My laboratory has been devoted to experimental stroke research. Stroke is induced by laser-driven photochemical sensitization of endothelial damage in a specific cerebral artery, yielding an occlusive thrombus composed either of platelets only, or a mixture of platelets, fibrin, and red blood cells. Both kinds of thrombi can be dissolved and circulation to the brain restored by means of ultraviolet laser irradiation, thus alleviating the stroke."
