Research InterestOur research is focused on how the activities of hundreds or even thousands of genes (gene parties) are coordinated to achieve biological meaning. We have pioneered methods to predict, dissect, and control large-scale gene regulatory programs; these methods have provided insights into human development, cancer, and aging.

Research InterestOur lab is interested in understanding molecular processes that underlie aging and age-associated pathologies in mammals. We focus on a family of genes, the SIRTs, which regulate stress resistance and lifespan in lower organisms such as yeast, worms, and flies. In mammals, we recently uncovered a number of ways in which SIRT factors may contribute to cellular and organismal aging by regulating resistance to various forms of stress. We have now begun to characterize the molecular mechanisms b..

Research InterestWe develop and use the tools of molecular imaging to understand oncogenesis, reveal patterns of cell migration in immunosurveillance, monitor gene expression, visualize stem cell biology, and assess the distribution of pathogens in living animal models of human biology and disease. Biology doesn't occur in "a vacuum" or on coated plates--it occurs in the living body and that's were we look for biological patterns and responses to insult.

Research InterestI am exploring the role of spirituality and religion as an intervention for improving outcomes and health delivery in three clinical domains: end-of-life care; cancer; and conditions causing cognitive impairment. To this end, I completed a sabbatical undertaking a one-year Clinical Pastoral Residency for chaplaincy training at the Alta Bates Summit Medical Center (2011 - 2012) with the goals: to develop skills in providing spiritual companionship to patients; to broaden my competencies as..
