Welcome to the Buchler Lab
We study the systems biology and evolution of oscillators in gene regulatory networks, which are essential for patterning, cell proliferation, and differentiation in biological systems. Our work is focused on oscillators such as the cell cycle, metabolic rhythms, and circadian clocks, which co-exist in the same cells and interact with one another through shared resources. We are affiliated with the Quantitative and Computational Developmental Biology (QCDB) initiative at NC State.
Amelia defends her Master’s
Amelia Ellis gave an excellent talk on her Master’s thesis research. Her thesis committee was Caiti Heil (Biology), Christine Hawkes (Plant & Microbial Biology), and Nicolas...
Primer on chytrid fungi
The aim of this primer is to introduce the reader to the life cycle, biology, and ecology of chytrids and other zoosporic fungi. We highlight...
Genetic transformation of Spizellomyces punctatus, a resource for studying chytrid biology and evolutionary cell biology
Read about our latest research break-through. We developed genetic transformation of a soil chytrid, Spizellomyces punctatus, and followed up with live-cell imaging to study chytrids...
