Rebecca Williams
Interested in conservational biology, Williams studies evolutionary adaptation and physiological acclimation at the population level in Brown bullhead (Ameiurus nebulosus) fish inhabiting polluted and clean regions and uses field expertise and molecular techniques to identify population level differences between clean and polluted site fish.
James West
Studying DNA damage and its link to cancer, neurodegenerative disease, and cardiovascular disease, West’s research utilizes baker’s yeast and mammalian cells to define more clearly how organisms sense and respond to protein-damaging molecules.
Stephanie Strand
Focusing on H. capsulatum, a species of fungus, Strand studies the identification of proteins involved in signal transduction pathways required for H. capsulatum to sense and respond to changes in environmental conditions and the characterization of the distribution of H. capsulatum in the soil of the Ohio-Mississippi River Valley.
