James Ferrell. MD and PhD in Chemistry (Stanford University) The Ferrell Lab is studying several biological processes, including cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, and cellular organization. We draw upon a combination of quantitative experimental approaches, computational modeling, and the theory of nonlinear dynamics.
Dr. Ferrell's laboratory studies the mitosis and meiosis cycle. Their goal is to understand the design principles of this system, and perhaps to gain insight into the systems that drive other biological oscillations (e.g. heart beats, calcium oscillations, circadian rhythms).
The Ferrell lab is working to understand the design principles of biochemical switches, timers, and oscillators, especially those that control the cell cycle. We make use of quantitative experimental approaches, modeling, and theory.
