... His focus is on detailed modeling of genetic and biochemical networks with emphasis on developmental systems. The Arkin laboratory applies theoretical and computational analyses from dynamical systems, stochastic processes, chemical kinetics, and statistical mechanics and methods from molecular biology to determine the principles of cellular signal processing and to aid in design of custom cellular circuitry that may, for example, act as sensitive biosensors.

... From 1983 to1984, Professor Corn was a visiting scientist at the IBM Research Laboratory in San Jose, California, where he applied the techniques of surface plasmon-enhanced Raman scattering and optical SHE to electrochemical surfaces. In 1985, Professor Corn moved to Wisconsin where he was a member of the Analytical Sciences Division of the Department of Chemistry and the Water Chemistry Program until 2004.

... He is working on the analysis of RNA expression data using graphical models. Professor Gifford has also developed programmed mutagenesis, a technique for programmatically rewriting DNA sequences by incorporating sequence-specific oligonucleotides into newly manufactured strands of DNA.

... His research group focuses on computational analysis of genomic datasets from functionally identified neurons as a cornerstone to support modeling of the adaptive intracellular response to synaptic inputs. Currently the work is related to systems analysis of gene regulatory circuits, the modeling of neuronal inputs into these circuits as modular patterns of transcription factor activation, and the central issue of discovering principles that relate gene output to functional phenotype (electrophysiology; models of ion fluxes)

... Prior to joining BANR in March 2005, she was a senior program officer for the Academies' Board on Life Sciences, where she directed several studies, including Discovery of Antivirals Against Smallpox; Stem Cells and the Promise of Regenerative Medicine; The National Plant Genome Initiative: Objectives for 2003-2005; Sharing Publication-Related Data and Materials: Responsibilities of Authorship in the Life Sciences; and a BANR study titled Predicting Invasions of Nonindigenous Plants and Plant Pests. Robin received a B.S.
