Jennifer R. Kowalski, Ph.D.

Professor – Department of Biological Sciences

Research in the Kowalski lab focuses on understanding the molecular processes that control the ability of neurons to communicate with one another at specialized cellular junctions called synapses (synaptic transmission).

Caleb A Class, PhD

Assistant Professor – Pharmaceutical Sciences

Caleb Class’s lab uses visual bioinformatics techniques to better understand the occurrence and treatment of disease. Recent projects include the integration of publicly available ‘omics data sets to better understand the factors behind cancer treatment response, an R package and web application to process and analyze gene expression data, as well as a variety of collaborations.
