The mission of the Department of Molecular Biology is to conduct high-impact, internationally recognized research, and to educate and train the next generation of leaders in biomedical research. Research in the Department of Molecular Biology focuses on understanding mechanisms that control normal and abnormal cell growth and differentiation during development and disease. Many of the basic molecular mechanisms that control cell growth and differentiation are evolutionarily conserved in widely divergent organisms. Thus, elucidation of biochemical pathways in simple, genetically tractable organisms can have direct relevance to comparable processes in humans. Investigators are using a variety of model organisms to uncover and characterize fundamental cellular, molecular, and genetic pathways that control proliferation, differentiation, and oncogenesis. Our faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students constitute a diverse group of investigators with overlapping expertise in different research areas …

Talk Title: Team Cancer Care Delivery: Where Do You (Primary Care) Fit In? Speaker: Archana Radhakrishnan, M.D., M.H.S. Course Director: Jared Morphew, M.D. Objectives: To understand the factors driving team-based care across the cancer continuumTo characterize primary care involvement in cancer survivorship and discuss primary care-led care modelsTo characterize and explore primary care involvement in low-rosk prostate cancer managementAbout the speaker: Dr. Archana Radhakrishnan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of Michigan. She is a general internist practicing at the Ann Arbor VA and cancer health services researcher. Her clinical and research interests align to ultimately improve the quality of care of patients with cancer. Specifically, she focuses on understanding and optimizing the role of primary care in the care of patients throughout the cancer continuum. Her areas of focus include: 1) Cancer survivorship, where she is developing and implementing r…

"Osteoporosis Management in 2026: It's All About Fracture Risk!" Speaker: Naim Maalouf, M.D. Professor of Internal Medicine Division of Endocrinology Associate Director, Charles and Jane Pak Center for Mineral Metabolism & Clinical Research UT Southwestern Medical Center About Naim Maalouf: Dr. Maalouf holds a bachelor's degree in chemistry from American University of Beirut, where he also earned his medical degree. He completed internal medicine residency training at Emory University in Atlanta, followed by advanced training in endocrinology and metabolism through a fellowship at UT Southwestern. Dr. Maalouf’s research spans the pathophysiology, prevention, and treatment of kidney stone disease, with a focus on calcium phosphate, calcium oxalate, and uric acid stones. He investigates novel therapies such as hydroxycitrate, the metabolic and dietary contributors to stone formation—including protein intake, obesity, and weight loss—and the development of advanced methods to monitor stone pr…

The AI in 30 series explores the Library's AI-powered tools in quick, digestible 30-minute sessions, highlighting the core features and how to integrate the tools into your workflows. This session will introduce you to Scopus AI, a research assistant tied to Scopus, a multidisciplinary database designed for literature searching and tracking research metrics. We will explore how the tool can help you explore topics and find relevant articles to inform your research, serving as a starting point for identifying evidence.
