Chuo Chen, Ph.D.
Southwestern Medical Foundation Scholar in Biomedical Research
Assistant Professor, Department of Biochemistry
Dr. Chen's research interests include synthesis of structurally and biologically intriguing natural products as well as construction of natural product-like small molecule libraries. These natural and synthetic compounds will be used to study cellular pathways and protein functions.

Qinghua Liu, Ph.D.
W.A. "Tex" Moncrief, Jr. Scholar in Medical Research
Assistant Professor, Department of Biochemistry
Dr. Liu is interested in how animal cells use small RNAs to specifically silence gene expression and whether the power of RNAi can be harnessed to shut down expression of pathological genes to cure human disease.

Lawrence Lum, Ph.D.
Virginia Murchison Linthicum Scholar in Medical Research
Assistant Professor, Department of Cell Biology
Dr. Lum is interested in how signaling molecules, such as the secreted Hedgehog and Wnt proteins, control cell growth and differentiation. More broadly, he hopes to understand how cells integrate information from multiple signaling molecules during developmental and disease-related processes.

Wade Winkler, Ph.D.
W.W. Caruth, Jr. Scholar in Biomedical Research
Assistant Professor, Department of Biochemistry
Dr. Winkler is exploring the genetic and biochemical characterization of regulation of gene expression with a focused interest on posttranscriptional regulatory mechanisms and riboswitches, metabolite-sensing RNA structures embedded within the 5' untranslated region of mRNAs. Interest in exploring the biochemistry, biological distribution, and biomedical application of riboswitch RNAs is a major focus of this lab.
