Gerton Lab
Genetics and Genomics
We seek to understand how genome instability impacts cells, tissues, and organisms during development, female reproductive aging, and cancer.
By unraveling the secrets underlying fundamental biological processes, we can find innovative approaches to diagnose, treat, and prevent disease.

Molecular and Cell Biology
Molecular and Cell Biology
We seek to understand aging, the inexorable decline in cellular and bodily function that results from the unidirectional nature of self-assembly by supersaturated proteins.
Molecular and Cell Biology
Molecular and Cell Biology
Our research focuses on how DNA and proteins interact to regulate gene expression.
Genetics and Genomics
Genetics and Genomics
We are interested in understanding sexual reproduction and how its evolution is shaped by genetic parasites.
The unique collaboration between scientists in our labs and Technology Centers enables cutting-edge, solution-driven research to unravel the secrets of life.
