Jianjun Sun, a graduate student from Wu-Min Deng’s lab, is studying the Notch signaling in regulation of cell-cycle programs. Using Drosophila epithelial follicle cells as a model, he has found that zinc finger protein Hindsight is a downstream target of Notch signaling regulating the transition from the mitotic cycle to the endocycle. His work was recently published in Development and Developmental Cell, two top-notch journals in the field. He was also awarded the Graduate Student Publication Award and the Margaret Y. Menzel Award for 2007 from our department. Here is more about his work. More..

The CMB graduate program offers an exceptional variety of opportunities
for students seeking to work in cellular and molecular biology. We
use a wide range of organisms and technologies to learn about basic biological
processes. Fundamental research in the areas of cell structure,
motility, and development are complemented by other areas of research
such as those focusing on the genetic control of cellular behavior, the
regulation of gene expression, the dynamic maintenance of genetic information,
and the physiology of organisms. CMB faculty, postdocs, and students
work together to discover and publish major findings in the broad-reaching
and high-impact fields that comprise modern cellular and molecular biology. Students
can choose a faculty research mentor from among 19 faculty in the CMB
program within the Department of Biological Science. Additional
opportunities to work with other faculty within the department and across
the university are available. The web pages here provide further
information about research opportunities for current and prospective graduate
students, the makeup and interests of our faculty and department, and
the university and surrounding area.
