Laura Seeholzer
Assistant Professor of Neurobiology
BioMy laboratory studies how we detect, perceive, and respond to sensations from within our own bodies. We focus on understanding how the airways sense potentially harmful substances and trigger protective reflexes like coughing and sneezing. Using techniques ranging from molecular and biophysical studies of single cells to behavioral studies, we investigate how specialized epithelial cells lining the airways detect different types of stimuli and communicate this information to the nervous system. By studying epithelial cells from animal models and humans, we aim to understand how their dysfunction contributes to conditions like chronic cough and aspiration. We also examine how the brain processes these internal signals to create the conscious "urge" to cough or sneeze, and how we learn to suppress these reflexes in appropriate social contexts. This research advances our understanding of the fundamental mechanisms linking bodily sensations to conscious awareness, behavioral control, and disease.
I did my PhD at Rockefeller University with Dr. Vanessa Ruta and post-doctoral studies at UCSF with Dr. David Julius. -

Krish Seetah
Associate Professor of Environmental Social Sciences, of Oceans, of Anthropology and Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment
BioI am a zooarchaeologist, whose focus is primarily on colonisation and colonialism. My zooarchaeological research has used butchery analysis (with the benefit of professional and ethnographic actualistic experience) to investigate agency within the human-animal relationship. More recently, I have employed geometric morphometrics (GMM) as a mechanism for identifying and distinguishing animal populations. This approach to studying colonial activity centres on understanding how people manipulate animal bodies, both during life and after death.
Alongside the strictly faunal research is a research interest in technologies associated with animal processing. This has been used to investigate issues of technology, trade and socio-economic attitudes within colonial contexts in the Mediterranean (Venice & Montenegro) and the Baltic (Poland, Latvia & Lithuania).
I am also the Director of the ‘Mauritian Archaeology and Cultural Heritage’ (MACH) project, which studies European Imperialism and colonial activity. This project centres on the movement of peoples and material cultures, specifically within the contexts of slavery and Diaspora. The work of this project has focused on key sites in Mauritius and is based on a systematic programme of excavation and environmental sampling. The underlying aims are to better understand the transition from slavery to indentured labour following abolition, the extent and diversity of trade in the region and the environmental consequences of intense, monoculture, agriculture.
