Dr. Krogan is a developmental biologist interested in how gene regulation guides the formation of complex tissues and organs in eukaryotes. The proper arrangement of these structures usually requires …
Following an education in the Midwest culminating in a PhD in Cell Biology at the University of Chicago, Professor Arneson began teaching students in the Department of Biology at American University i…
I earned a PhD in Molecular Biology and Genetics from Northwestern University studying the role of protein ubiquitination and the APC/C complex in Drosophila melanogaster. After research and teaching …
Short Summary of Bracht lab research interests: Given the central importance of the genome, it is surprising that some organisms simply eliminate significant portions of it from some or all cells. Gen…
To increase our understanding of how biodiversity is created and maintained, Dr. Broder explores how evolutionary processes interact to drive rapid adaptation to new and changing environments using an…
Dr. Cárdenas is a microbial ecologist interested in microbiome research. Her research has focused on understanding the diversity and function of microbial communities associated with corals and other …
My research interests include the evolution and genetics of natural populations, and the molecular evolution of protein-coding genes.
Dr. Brenda Chow is a molecular biologist whose research interests include understanding how environmental signals (such as light and temperature) regulate the circadian clock to improve growth and fit…
Dr. Connaughton’s research interests encompass the disciplines of developmental biology (nervous sy…
I am an evolutionary biologist and an urban ecologist. My research has focused on the evolution of plant-insect interactions and the mechanisms that shape the ecology of urban landscapes. My approach …
Emerging infectious diseases, including HIV and SARS, are defined as uncontrollable outbreaks of infectious diseases to break down public health. HIV is a globally epidemic virus that infects the immu…
Jeffrey Kaplan received a PhD in biology from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 1980. Before joining AU in 2012, Kaplan served as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Albert Einstein College of Medicin…
Dr. Kothmann received his PhD from the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston where he studied signal transduction pathways that mediate adaptive reorganization of retinal circuits in re…

Dr. Schaeff ‘s training is in evolutionary biology and behavior. Her current research* explores how sex, gender and sex/gender inform one’s identity or sense of self, and how one’s sense of self shape…
As the lab director, Dr. Swanson is responsible for hiring lab instructors for all bio labs and the training of instructors in our 100 and 200-level labs. She also continuously updates the lab curricu…
Dr. Tudge is a reproductive biologist with particular interests in the reproductive biology of invertebrates. His research focuses on the reproductive cells and associated structures, evolutionary mec…
