Mark C. Fishman’s group studies the heart-brain connection. They employ a range of genetic, developmental, and neurobiological tools in zebrafish to understand what the heart tells the brain, and how critical internal sensory systems adjust homeostatic and somatic behaviors, including social interactions.

Gregory Verdine focuses on chemical biology, studying biological processes that underlie growth and proliferation of human cancer cells, control of gene expression, and preservation of genomic integrity.

Hidde Ploegh studies molecular aspects of immune recognition, focusing on the use of nanobodies for non-invasive PET imaging to track immune responses.

Steven Hyman is Director of the Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research at the Broad Institute and Chair of the Schizophrenia Spectrum Biomarkers Consortium (SSBC), a consortium identifying objective biomarkers to enable better diagnosis of and treatment for schizophrenia and related illnesses.
