Cells and organisms cope with the task of maintaining their phenotypes in the face of numerous challenges. Much attention has recently been paid to questions of how cells control molecular processes to ensure robustness.

Ongoing investigations into the mechanisms of cellular life are revealing that sophisticated noncoding RNAs are involved in many key biochemical processes including information transfer, catalysis, signal transduction and molecular recognition. Breaker laboratory members are exploring the structural and functional diversity of RNAs that exist in modern cells, and are using test tube evolution methods to create RNAs and DNAs with entirely new functions. Several topics of special interest are currently being pursued that involve a range of techniques in the areas of nucleic acids biochemistry, microbiology and bioinformatics.
It is appropriate for biologists to ask why bacteria are interesting, and the answer lies in evolutionary challenges presented by the dimensions of these smallest of creatures. Limits in both size and information demand that each bacterium be a specialist.

We study the physics of soft condensed matter, materials which are easily deformable by external stresses, electric or magnetic fields, or even by thermal fluctuations.

Physics has a great tradition of precision measurement, whose origin is widely credited to Galileo. The lesson that has been learned time and time again is that by measuring fundamental physical phenomena with increasing precision, one can make amazing discoveries and even sometimes stumble across new laws of nature. My research seeks to bring this tradition to biology.

What is Indole-3-Carbinol? Indole-3-Carbinol, also known as I3C, is found in cruciferous vegetables such as collards, mustard greens, turnips, cabbage, broccoli, kale, cabbage, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. Cruciferous vegetables are recognized as being one of world’s healthiest food sources, providing multiple nutrients and anti-cancer properties.
