We study the molecular basis of sensory transduction and behavior by investigating the molecular detectors and neural circuits that sense temperature and chemicals. We study thermal and chemical ...

However, the molecular mechanisms underlying their sensory transduction systems remain largely unknown, primarily due to challenges in visualizing plant responses to external stimuli in real time.

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta 1788, 779–789 (2009). Juliano, R. L. Signal transduction by cell adhesion receptors and the cytoskeleton: Functions of integrins, cadherins, selectins, and ...

Research in the Department of Biological Sciences examines levels of biological complexity from molecules to populations, with three areas of focus in molecular biology of gene expression, signal ...
