Class 9: 2006-2010
W. W. Caruth, Jr. Scholar in Biomedical Research
Assistant Professor, Department of Pharmacology
Dr. Suel is interested in identifying systems-level design principles of cellular differentiation circuits. His laboratory combines single cell microscopy and mathematical modeling to investigate how cells choose and execute differentiation programs.

Alec Zhang1
Michael L. Rosenberg Scholar in Medical Research
Assistant Professor, Departments of Physiology and Developmental Biology
Dr. Zhang is interested in studying hematopoietic stem cells, mammary gland epithelial stem cells, and their relationship to cancer. His identification of novel growth factors for ex vivo expansion of hematopoietic stem cells will facilitate the development of new strategies for stem cell and gene therapies.
Virginia Murchison Linthicum Scholar in Medical Research
Michael L. Rosenberg Scholar in Medical Research
Assistant Professor, Department of Microbiology
Dr. Feng is interested in understanding the host-virus interaction of human Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV). In particular, Dr. Feng’s lab is exploring the mechanisms that KSHV evades and regulates host immune responses to persist in healthy individuals and cause diseases in immunocompromised humans.
MacMillan 1
John MacMillan, Ph.D.
Chilton/Bell Scholar in Biochemistry
Assistant Professor, Department of Biochemistry
Dr. MacMillan is interested in the discovery of novel, biologically active natural products from culturable marine bacteria and marine invertebrates. Specifically, the lab will look to identify new compounds with antibiotic and anti-cancer activity.

Hiesinger Peter Robin Hiesinger, Ph.D.
Eugene McDermott Scholar in Biomedical Research
Assistant Profeessor, Department of Physiology
Dr. Hiesinger in interested in the design principles of brain wiring. His laboratory employs genetics, electrophysiology, 4D imaging and computational visualization techniques to study the fundamental question of neurogenetics - how can a few thousand genes 'encode' synaptic wiring patterns in the brain?
