Dr. Gitai received his B.Sc. in Biology from MIT and his Ph.D. in Cell Biology from UCSF. As a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford, he studied the dynamics, function, and regulation of the newly-discovered bacterial actin, MreB. In his own lab at Princeton he has focused on bacterial cell biology, including developing new methods for imaging…
Dr. Murphy received her B.S. in Biophysical and Biochemical Sciences from the University of Houston and her Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Stanford University. As an LSRF and Ellison postdoctoral fellow at UCSF, she studied the transcriptional regulation of C. elegans longevity. In her own lab at Princeton she has focused on early aging phenotypes,…
Dr. Murthy has a broad background in the fields of genetics, molecular biology, and neuroscience. She was an undergraduate at MIT, where she majored in Biology and completed her senior thesis on the genetics of aging in yeast in Dr. Leonard Guarente’s lab. As a graduate student in Neuroscience at Stanford University (in Dr. Tom Schwarz’s lab),…
Dr. Shaevitz received his B.A. in Physics from Columbia University and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Physics from Stanford University. As a Miller Research Fellow at UC Berkeley, he studied the movement of microorganisms using novel forms of microscopy. The Shaevitz lab at Princeton focuses on precision measurements in biology using tractable…
In 2008, Stone was the winner of the inaugural Batchelor Prize sponsored by the Journal of Fluid Mechanics for the breadth and depth of his research over a 10-year period (1998-2007) and for his widely acknowledged leadership in fluid mechanics generally. Stone did his undergraduate studies at University of California at Davis and earned his Ph…
Olga Troyanskaya is an Associate Professor in the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics and the Department of Computer Science at Princeton University, USA. Her work bridges computer science and molecular biology in an effort to develop better methods for analysis of diverse genomic data with the goal of understanding and modeling the…
