Dr. Edward E Luk's lab at Stony Brook University focuses on understanding unique structures of chromatin, which are crucial for regulating gene expression and cellular processes. By studying specific histone variants and their roles in transcription and chromatin formation, the lab aims to uncover how these structures impact cellular behavior and may be linked to diseases like cancer. The research involves advanced biochemical techniques and models to explore these processes at a molecular level.

Erwin London's lab explores the intricate structure and function of cell membranes, focusing on how the composition of lipids affects cellular processes and responses. Using innovative techniques, the team investigates how the organization of membrane lipids influences the behavior of membrane proteins, particularly receptors that play crucial roles in cellular signaling. The lab's research has implications for understanding disease mechanisms and improving vaccine design.

Dr. Ivet Bahar's lab focuses on understanding how proteins function through computational methods, particularly in relation to allosteric modulation and drug discovery. The lab uses cutting-edge techniques to model proteins and predict the effects of mutations, which can inform therapeutic strategies and precision medicine. They combine principles from physics, biology, and artificial intelligence to develop tools that are accessible to other researchers.
