	Dr. Cheryl Telmer The goal of our research is to build biosensors for live-cell imaging. Methods that use light to visualize protein localization and interactions can be used to investigate the dynamics of cell structure and function. Another part of my research effort is directed towards a project named Big Mechanisms in Cancer where the goal of the program is to develop technologies for automated reading of scientific literature and development of causal, explanatory models of signaling pathways in cancer.

	Dr. Lisa Antoszewski Dr. Lisa Antoszewski is an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Developmental Biology at the University of Pittsburgh. Using zebrafish as a model organism, her primary research interest is in kidney development. More specifically, she is interested in identifying novel genes responsible for renal progenitor cell maintenance. She is serving as a laboratory mentor for the 2016 iGEM team. Back to Top
	Dr. Samuel Dickerson Dr. Samuel Dickerson is an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh. His research interests are in the design and modeling of nanoscale circuits and systems. Currently, he is investigating the use of electrokinetic techniques to sort, separate and analyze cells.
