Exploring Programed Cell Death in C. elegans
Welcome to the Zhou Lab at Baylor College of Medicine, nestled in the heart of the Chemical, Physical and Structural Biology Program. As an established leader in the field of cell death and cell corpse clearance, our lab offers a unique blend of familial atmosphere and scientific rigor that is ideal for inquisitive graduate students. In our small, close-knit lab family, you will find a supportive environment where every member’s contribution is valued and vital. Our focus is on delving deep into the intricacies of cell death pathways, uncovering novel mechanisms that drive these fundamental biological processes. This journey of discovery is not just about making incremental advances; it's about uncovering the subtle, yet profound secrets of cellular life and death. At the Zhou Lab, you will engage directly in the exploration of uncharted territories of cell biology. This is a place where your intellectual curiosity will be nurtured, your academic skills honed, and your contributions celebrated. We pride ourselves on a collaborative spirit that not only furthers our collective understanding but also fosters your individual growth as a scientist. Joining us means becoming part of a family that is dedicated to understanding the intricacies of cell death and clearance. Here, you won’t just be studying processes; you’ll be at the forefront of discovering new mechanisms that could redefine our understanding of cellular biology.
