Research in Molecular and Cell Biology ranges broadly from the study of microorganisms, such as herpes virus and plastic-producing bacteria; to the manipulation of the genome and metabolic pathways in plants to produce proteins and drugs; to cellular studies, including neuron development and toxicant effects on brain cells and gametes; to neurological, cardiovascular and reproductive processes in response to agents such as nicotine.  Students involved in our research include undergraduates, Biology Master’s students, and PhD students enrolled in the Environmental Sciences and Molecular Biosciences Doctoral programs.  Collaborations include those with faculty in other colleges and departments at ASU, as well as with researchers at UAMS, UAF, NCTR, and other universities and agencies. 

Faculty: Buchanan, Cramer, David Gilmore, Anne Grippo, Loutsch, Medina-Bolivar and Srivatsan.
