Jeff Lichtman (l) and Doug Richardson The Harvard Center for Biological Imaging (HCBI) recently celebrated its five year anniversary. A central pillar in its mandate is to ensure…
We have suggested that chromosomes should be viewed as macroscopic mechanical objects whose functions are governed by accumulation, release and redistribution of mechanical stress. We have proposed specifically…
The aim of developmental neurobiology is to learn how the nervous system is built, and to find the developmental anomalies that are thought to underlie some brain diseases. …

A fundamental question in developmental biology is how multi-potent cells choose a fate. While we know a lot about how cell states are maintained through growing amounts of…
Meiosis is a modified cellular program by which a single diploid cell gives rise to haploid gametes (e.g. sperm and egg). To this end, DNA replication is followed…
