KC Huang
LeRa Professor and Professor of Microbiology and Immunology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsHow do cells determine their shape and grow?
How do molecules inside cells get to the right place at the right time?
Our group tries to answer these questions using a systems biology approach, in which we integrate interacting networks of protein and lipids with the physical forces determined by the spatial geometry of the cell. We use theoretical and computational techniques to make predictions that we can verify experimentally using synthetic, chemical, or genetic perturbations. -

Arielle Johnson
Postdoctoral Scholar, Bioengineering
BioArielle has a BA in Biology from Brown University in Providence, RI. She received a PhD in Plant Biology from Cornell University in Ithaca, NY studying genomics, reproductive development, and specialized defensive cells in the emerging model plant petty spurge (Euphorbia peplus). Arielle is interested in the spatial and developmental aspects of how plants make specialized metabolites and coordinate defense. She hopes to use synbio techniques to manipulate defensive cells in Arabidopsis. Her favorite plants include bladderworts, Hydnora, and honey locust trees.
