The University of California, Irvine (UCI) Charlie Dunlop School of Biological Sciences proudly welcomes Naveen Yalamanchi, MD, Partner and portfolio manager at RTW Investments, to its Dean’s Leadership Council. The Dean’s Leadership Council is selectively comprised of major industry leaders dedicated to empowering initiatives in biological sciences, healthcare, and education.
Dr. Travis Wiles, Assistant Professor of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry at the University of California, Irvine, joins the #QualityQuorum to discuss the work he and his research group have done to visualize the changing dynamics of the gut microbiome—including bacteriophages residing there.

Professor Monica Daley is a co-author and biology contributor for this Nature paper on RAVEN: a bird-inspired multi-modal robot that uses its legs to propel itself for take-off for flight.
To better understand the complex genetic and molecular underpinnings of AD in both its sporadic and genetic forms, researchers from the UC Irvine Charlie Dunlop School of Biological Sciences and the UC Irvine School of Medicine conducted groundbreaking research recently published in Nature Genetics.
Professor Jennifer Martiny received a Hypothesis Fund grant to explore how eco-evolutionary theory can shape the human gut microbiome.
Associate Professor Elizabeth Chrastil was recently on Science Friday to talk about her study that explored brain changes in women before, during and after pregnancy.
Evgeny Kvon, a geneticist at the University of California, Irvine, fell in love with molecular biology when he learned about the experiments that led to the discovery of DNA as the carrier of genetic information in high school. Now, as a group leader, Kvon explores how enhancers, which are non-coding regulatory DNA elements, orchestrate the precise spatiotemporal transcription of genes during mammalian development.
What if the path to delaying the onset of dementia symptoms begins at the nose?
It is a doorway that the research of Dr. Michael Leon opened with a 2023 study on the power of olfaction enrichment to influence memory function and brain health. The findings drew wide acclaim and interest when his results found that stimulation of our sense of smell with essential oils had a profound impact on memory, cognition, and language recall.
Professor Aimee Edinger presented at Dunlop School’s Dean’s Distinguished Lecutre on October 12, 2023. This lecture described how natural compounds found in yeast and humans might be leveraged to set up roadblocks that kill drug-resistant tumor cells, tame the obesity epidemic, and help deliver next-generation DNA and RNA medicines.
