Frankie Antillon recently earned a Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics from Texas A&M, where she conducted research under the mentorship of Dr. Ryland Young at the Center for Phage Technology. As Antillon knows, there is no shortage of possible pathways open to our grad students! Having successfully defended her thesis, Antillon plans to apply her knowledge of fundamental life scienc...

Our research impacts an unusually broad range of biology and human and veterinary medicine. We have incredible strength in structural biology; plant biochemistry and genetics; future century biotechnology; complex biochemical signaling and its role in disease; protein biophysics; RNA biochemistry; energy metabolism; drug discovery including small molecules and protein biologics; molecular virol...

In the Wand lab, we are broadly interested in how the biophysical properties of proteins are manifested in their biological function. We are particularly engaged in trying to reveal the nature of internal protein motion and how this influences functions ranging from molecular recognition to allostery and catalysis. These basic ideas are being employed in a range of studies including protein eng...

The innate immune system is the first line of defense against bacterial and viral infection. Pathogen-derived nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA induce potent immune responses in the infected cells. The detection of viral nucleic acids is an important strategy by which the host senses infection and initiates protective immune responses. The cGAS-STING pathway plays a central role in the innate i...

The Rye lab is broadly interested in understanding how cells control the assembly and disassembly of important biological nanoparticles like protein aggregates and membrane transport vesicles. Specialized molecular machines powered by the energy stored in ATP or GTP are required for these activities and regulate many aspects of basic cellular biology. Our goal is to develop detailed mechanistic...

In the Herman lab, we seek to understand how bacteria potentiate environmental fluxes into the requisite changes in physiology required for adaptation & survival. We primarily utilize the model organism Bacillus subtilis, a bacterium with superb genetic tools that can differentiate into multiple cell types. bcbp.tamu.edu/research/faculty/jennifer-k-herman/

The living cell contains a collection of molecular machines to grow and function. These machines include the ribosomes, the chaperons, the proteasomes and other enzymes. Malfunction of these machines are related to many human diseases. Elucidation of their three-dimensional (3D) structures is essential to understanding how these machines work in the cell and eventually to treat those related di...

The Cruz-Reyes lab prioritizes teamwork and the development of future scientists through cutting edge facilities and the study of RNA biology and drug development. bcbp.tamu.edu/research/faculty/jorge-cruz-reyes/

Our research interests lie in the interface between biology and the physical sciences. Protein-protein interactions are involved in virtually all biological processes. One research area in our laboratory is to understand the biophysical mechanisms of protein-protein interactions. Specifically, we investigate the molecular recognition mechanism between influenza viral proteins and human signalin...

We study protein glycosylation in different biological contexts, including physiology, development, and disease. It has been long recognized that glycans play essential roles in animal organisms, while defects in glycosylation are associated with numerous diseases and abnormalities, from cancer to brain malformation and defects in neurophysiology. However, the complexity of glycosylation and li...

The Devarenne lab focuses on identifying the genes and enzymes involved in hydrocarbon biosynthesis in the green microalga Botryococcus braunii and analyzing how plants control programmed cell death to control resistance to bacterial pathogens. bcbp.tamu.edu/research/faculty/tim-devarenne/

Dr. Glasner and her lab strive to improve strategies for predicting what proteins can do and for engineering them to do new things with their research.
