Generative Biology: Learning to Program Cellular Machines
My general scientific interests are in understanding how genetically encoded molecular programs can yield the remarkable behaviors observed in biological organisms, at multiple scales. I began my research career as a biophysical chemist and structural biologist studying problems such as the evolutionary optimization of enzymes, how protein structure is encoded in sequence, and the determinants of protein-protein interaction specificity. My research has gradually shifted towards utilizing this mechanistic understanding of molecules as a foundation to study how systems of interacting molecules assemble to yield cellular or o...

OHRP Exploratory Workshop 2023 - Exploring the Ethical and Practical Considerations of Psychedelics Research
Psychedelics are powerful psychoactive substances that alter perception and mood and affect numerous cognitive processes. Their origins predate written history, and early cultures used them in many sociocultural and ritual contexts. The name ‘ psychedelics ’ was coined by Humphrey Osmond in 1957, suggesting that they have a mind-manifesting capability that may reveal useful or beneficial properties of the mind. For decades, psychedelics have been classified as illegal drugs. Recent research suggests that these substances may provide a potential breakthrough in the treatment of a myriad of mental health conditions. This...

The neurobiology and evolution of vocal learning and spoken language
This lecture, established in 2011, recognizes Marshall Nirenberg for his work to decipher the genetic code, which resulted in his receiving the 1968 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Nirenberg ’ s research career at the NIH spanned more than 50 years, and his research also focused on neuroscience, neural development, and the homeobox genes. The Nirenberg lecture recognizes outstanding contributions to genetics and molecular biology. The focus of Jarvis' research is the vocal learning capabilities in birds and how they learn to mimic sounds.His research with songbirds is being used to show the evolution of human l...
