CDB Review Branch Personnel

Review Branch Summary

This Review Branch will review applications that involve a variety of approaches including cellular, molecular, biochemical, and genetics, and use a variety of techniques including microscopy, genomics, proteomics and computational techniques, with the primary goal of better understanding cell structure-function, cell signaling, cellular regulatory systems, cellular interactions, development, and aging. In addition, the grant applications that are focused on basic mechanisms of the cell, molecular and developmental biology of the eye are also reviewed in this branch.
