Program Director

  • Deborah Robertson

    Professor, Biology

    Department Chair, Biology

    My research program investigates the physiological ecology and the evolution of nitrogen metabolism in marine diatoms and other ecologically important groups of marine algae. In many marine environments, nitrogen availability is an important factor regulating primary productivity. By characterizing the […]

Program Faculty

  • Nathan Ahlgren

    Associate Professor, Biology

    Professor Ahlgren is a marine microbial ecologist. He is interested in understanding how environmental factors and interactions between microbes and viruses shape the evolution, diversity, and structure of microbial communities. Marine microbial communities are extremely diverse and control globally important […]

  • Julio D’Arcy

    Assistant Professor, Chemistry

    Carl J. and Anna Carlson Endowed Chair, Chemistry

    Julio M. D’Arcy is an Assistant Professor in the Carlson School of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Clark University. Investigations in Julio’s lab are driven by pressing questions about energy, sustainability and the future; students take a central role in leading […]

  • The research in my lab applies experimental molecular genomic, mathematical and computational approaches to investigate the regulation of gene expression during development. The major focus is on analyzing the epigenetic and regulatory networks that control transcription in the embryo in […]

  • Professor Granados-Focil is a polymer scientist with 20+ years of experience in his field. He is an expert on the synthesis and characterization of macromolecules that exhibit selective transport properties for several applications, such as energy storage, building temperature regulation, […]

  • Sharon Huo graduated from Peking University in 1990, majoring in Applied Chemistry. After working at the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences for four years, she started her Ph.D. study at Boston University, followed by post-doctoral training at UC-San […]

  • Chuck Jakobsche (pronounced "Jacob-She") is a broadly experienced creator, educator, researcher, and leader. He earned an undergraduate degree in chemistry at Williams College in 2004. He began graduate school in organic chemistry at Boston College, and then he complete his […]

  • Denis Larochelle

    Professor, Biology

    Medical Careers Director, Biology

    Cytokinesis, the process by which a cell constricts at the equator to ultimately divide into two daughter cells remains poorly understood. My primary interest has been to identify the proteins/genes involved in both the mechanics and the regulation of this […]

  • Noel Lazo is a Professor in the Carlson School of Chemistry and Biochemistry. His laboratory is currently focusing on the proteolytic degradation and aggregation of proteins associated with late onset disorders including Alzheimer's disease and related dementias and type 2 […]

  • Néva Meyer

    Associate Professor, Biology

    Néva Meyer is an associate professor in the Biology Department at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts, USA. Her research addresses questions of annelid and spiralian development with the goal of gaining a better understanding of how animal body plans evolved […]

  • Arundhati Nag

    Associate Professor, Chemistry

    Professor Nag's lab develops unique peptide or peptidomimetic macrocycles using robust chemical reactions and Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis. Macrocycles, with molecular weights of approximately 1000, bridge the gap between small molecules and proteins, in terms of size and composition. Chemical […]
