The Choe Lab
Led by Keith Choe · Biology
What we study
The Choe Lab studies how animals detect and respond to environmental stress and how these pathways affect aging, growth, and drug resistance. Researchers conduct genetic, molecular, cell biology, and physiological experiments using the model nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans.
