We have compiled a list of faculty who we feel have research interests that are well-aligned with the MMB community's interests in studying health and disease at the molecular level. However, students who work with faculty members who are not on this list, but whose research interests fall within the scope of MMB, are welcome to apply to be a part of MMB.
