Sophie Dumont, PhD
Professor
Learn more about Sophie Dumont, PhDOur lab is interested in how the properties of individual molecules give rise to the mechanics and function of large cellular machines. We focus on the machines that drive cell division, asking how they build themselves through self-organization, and how they generate and respond to force to…

James Fraser, PhD
Department Chair and Professor
Learn more about James Fraser, PhDThe long-term goals of our research are to understand how protein conformational ensembles are reshaped by perturbations, such as mutation and ligand binding, and to quantify how these perturbations impact protein function and organismal fitness. To accomplish these goals, we create new…
