Bio/Research
Liz's research focuses on understanding genetic regulatory mechanisms that underlie the development of a properly formed animal from a fertilized egg, with a focus on post-transcriptional control of gene expression. In addition to mentoring students and postdocs in the lab, she teaches one of the largest courses at Princeton – "Introduction to Molecular and Cellular Biology" – as well as a popular graduate level genetics course that she developed with her colleague Eric Wieschaus. Liz helped found the joint Princeton/Rutgers University MD/PhD program and served as its Princeton director. She served as President of the Drosophila Board of Directors, on which she remains active, and is a member of the Board of Directors of the Society of Developmental Biology. Liz also serves on several editorial boards and participates in mentorship programs for women in science at Princeton, Hunter College, and The College of New Jersey.
