Tristan H Lambert's lab at Cornell University focuses on innovative approaches in catalysis to enhance the speed and efficiency of chemical synthesis, particularly for biologically important molecules. The research investigates novel catalytic platforms, such as electrophotocatalysis, and aims to develop next-generation catalysts to facilitate complex reactions. By improving the methodologies in organic synthesis, the lab hopes to overcome obstacles in the discovery of new medicinal agents.

The Crane lab at Cornell University focuses on understanding how light and chemical signals influence the behavior of cells, particularly in bacteria and fruit flies. They study key systems that allow cells to move toward certain stimuli, a process crucial for bacteria to cause disease, and also investigate the molecular mechanisms that regulate biological clocks in organisms. By using advanced techniques in biochemistry and structural biology, the lab aims to contribute to our knowledge of diseases that arise when these systems malfunction.
