Nirupa  Chaudhari, Ph.D. Nirupa Chaudhari, Ph.D.
Professor, Physiology and Biophysics
Research Summary
We study mechanisms of transduction and cellular communication in sensory and other cells. We develop transgenic mouse models and fluorescent reporters to visualize cell function in real time. We also analyze patterns of gene expression in complex tissues to understand the roles and differentiation of diverse cell types.
