Drug Discovery from Microorganisms:Microbial natural products are a rich source for new chemistry useful as antibacterial, anti-cancer, and antiviral therapeutics.
Research opportunitiesChemical exploration of fungi and bacteria:• Isolation and identification of microorganisms• Chemical screening and bioactivity testing of
microbial metabolites• Cell-based assays to identify antibiotic and
cytotoxic activity• Isolation and characterization of complex
natural products• Can we influence the chemistry? Why is it
made, when, how?

Jaga Giebultowicz labWe study rhythms of life called circadian rhythms
All organisms have biological clock that generate circa 24 h rhythms
Animals are active at certain time of day or night Humans have times of high and low alertness
Biological clocks regulate physiological and molecular rhythms: what if they are broken?
What you could study in our lab:• Genome wide circadian gene
expression• How gene expression changes during
aging?• How to repair old biological clocks?• Effects of blue LED light on aging
Clock neurons in Drosophila brain

Thesis topic ideas/opportunitiesProtein Biophysics and/or in cell work:• Viral parasitism – Ebola/rabies/rotaviruses• Crystallin aggregation – Cataracts • Motor protein regulation – NeurodegenerationComputational work/Bioinformatics:• LC8 motif analysis – Hub regulation• Database for LC8 interactions
Our primary focus is elucidation of the molecular structure, assembly and regulation of protein interaction networks. The proteins we study are associated with Huntington’s disease, cataracts, and viral infections.

Our lab has diverse interests that are united by a common goal: understanding the dynamics of natural ecological communities. Our insights into community regulation, biodiversity, and global change are generated primarily by research on rocky shores and marine ecosystems. We approach questions at a variety of scales and with a diversity of tools ranging from biochemical studies at the suborganismal level, to controlled field experiments in intertidal communities, to biogeographic comparisons among the coasts of Oregon, New Zealand, and Chile.
