At the Rowland, the Tao Lab sought structure-property relationships in nanoscale, heterogeneous matter through the development of single-nucleon magnetic resonance imaging. On this journey toward direct, 3D imaging of atomic structures, the lab was...
At the Rowland, the focus of the Brucker Lab was on interactions of environmental toxins metabolized by the gut microbiome. They utilized natural product chemistry, ecotoxicology, population genetics, evolution, and experimental microbiota to test...
At the Rowland, the Cira Lab developed technologies to enable new scales of experimental throughput and used them to untangle complex biological systems. Many biological systems involve the interaction of large numbers of different components, and many of...
Executing successful movements requires the brain to predict the consequences of actions. It is believed that the brain builds internal models of our body and the environment in order to simulate the sensory and motor outcomes of movements. Due to the...
Motility allows diverse types of organisms from bacteria to humans to seek out favourable environments providing, for instance, nutrients, light, or company. Often motility behavior follows particular patterns: For example, roaming and dwelling in C...
The ability to adjust one’s actions based on past experience (learning) and retain the value of past actions (memory) is one of the most complex, fascinating, and mysterious processes mediated by the animal brain. Fundamental questions remain about the...
At the Rowland, the Wang Lab focused on designing novel nanomaterials for renewable energy and environmental applications including catalysis, rechargeable batteries, as well as CO2 treatment. They combined catalysis and battery studies to open up...
At the Rowland, the RoLi Lab (Jennifer Li and Drew Robson) developed novel imaging systems and computational frameworks to flexibly address neurons throughout an entire vertebrate brain. Using techniques such as multi-photon microscopy, selective plane...
At the Rowland, the Congreve Lab studied excitonic materials and devices. They sought to better understand the physics in combinations of excitonic materials, and use that knowledge to build more efficient devices such as LEDs and photovoltaics.
