Troyanovsky, Sergey M
Professor of Dermatology and Cell and Developmental Biology
Bio
Dr. Troyanovsky's research focuses on cadherin, intercellular adhesion, and signaling. Classic cadherins are critical proteins mediating cell-cell adhesion and various signaling pathways responsible f... [more]
Vassar, Robert J
Professor of Neurology (Behavioral Neurology) and Cell and Developmental Biology
Bio
Our research focuses on molecular and cellular mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease. In particular, we investigate the beta-secretase enzyme BACE1, which initiates the production of the beta-amyloid pept... [more]
