In the Reitzel lab we are interested in answering integrative questions concerning the evolution and ecology of coastal invertebrates by using an interdisciplinary approach that combines comparative genomics, molecular biology, and field studies. We utilize species in the phylum Cnidaria (sea anemones, corals, and jellyfishes) and phylum Echinodermata (sea urchins, sea stars) as models because […]

Dr. Jessica Schlueter received her B.S. from Texas A&M University in 2000 and her Ph.D. in Genetics from Iowa State University in 2006 under the guidance of Dr. Randy Shoemaker, USDA-ARS-CICGR. She subsequently did a post-doc at Purdue University before joining the Department of Bioinformatics and Genomics at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte […]

Mutations are the primary source for genetic variation, driving the evolutionary process, but also is responsible for genetic disease. The raw input of mutations is determined by DNA synthesis, proofreading, and repair, and these pathways are highly conserved. However, mutation rates vary by four orders of magnitude across the tree life, indicating that these pathways […]

Wenwu Tang is the Executive Director of the Center for Applied Geographic Information Science (gis.charlotte.edu) and Associate Professor at the Department of Geography and Earth Sciences at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. His research interests include cyberinfrastructure and high-performance geocomputation, agent-based modeling, land change modeling, Web GIS, and their geospatial applications. Tang has […]

Dr. Truman obtained his Ph.D. in Biochemistry at University College London, UK, where he uncovered the first Hsp90 interaction regulated by client phosphorylation (Mpk1). As a postdoctoral researcher at Johns Hopkins University and Boston University with Dr. David E. Levin, Dr. Truman explored the novel ways phosphorylation can shape kinase activity and specificity. As a […]

Dr. Rafael Vieira is currently an Assistant Professor of One Health in the Department of Public Health Sciences and CIPHER at UNC Charlotte. He completed his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) at Federal Rural University of Pernambuco (UFRPE), Veterinary Residency in Laboratory Diagnostics at São Paulo State University (UNESP), Masters at the Federal University of […]

Field of Interest: Organic/Materials Chemistry Research Focus: Research in our group focuses on the design and synthesis of novel hybrid inorganic-organic materials for a wide variety of applications, predominantly in biomedicine and renewable energy. Our vision is that by combining basic science understanding with material science, some of the most relevant problems (cancer and other […]
