Genetics
Genetics Research
Underlying almost all modern approaches to biology, Genetics is both a fundamental method of inquiry and a discipline in its own right. At Princeton, classical genetics, molecular genetics, and genomics are used to dissect biological mechanisms at all levels of organization, from the simplest viruses and bacteria through simple eukaryotes to the most complex problems in vertebrate development. Specific areas of inquiry include bacterial secretion and morphogenesis, yeast cell fusion and telomere maintenance, DNA mismatch repair, Drosophila development, left-right patterning and kidney development in zebrafish, cancer in mice, aging in C. elegans, to name just a few. The commonality of approaches to varied problems provides many opportunities for cross-discipline interaction.
