Cytokinesis, the process by which a cell constricts at the equator to ultimately divide into two daughter cells remains poorly understood. My primary interest has been to identify the proteins/genes involved in both the mechanics and the regulation of this […]

The research in my lab applies experimental molecular genomic, mathematical and computational approaches to investigate the regulation of gene expression during development. The major focus is on analyzing the epigenetic and regulatory networks that control transcription in the embryo in […]

My broad research interests are the evolution and ecology of complex biotic interactions between individuals and their subsequent effect on fitness and population structure. It has long been accepted that ecology influences evolution but only recently has is it become […]

Ms. Merrill received a B.A. from Bowdoin College in 1984 and an M.A. and Ph.D. from Brown University in 1988 and 1991, respectively. She was later a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Gerontology and Health Care Research, also at […]
