 MBL Study Shows Cancer Drug May Have Future in Alzheimer’s Treatment; Marine Snail Plays
Key Role in Discovery. |

In addition to research centers and programs, the MBL hosts independent research laboratories.
Laboratory of Jelle Atema
Many organisms and cellular processes use chemical signals as their main channel of information about the environment. All environments are noisy and require some form of filtering to detect important signals.
Laboratory of Barbara and Bruce Furie
This laboratory has been investigating the biosynthesis of the calcium-binding amino acid, g-Carboxyglutamic acid, in the predatory marine cone snail, Conus, and the structural role of g-Carboxyglutamic acid in the conopeptides.
Laboratory of Lionel F. Jaffe
Work in this laboratory centers on the roles of electrical currents and of calcium patterns on the development of pattern, and on fast calcium waves.
Laboratory of Ivan Valiela
A focus in this lab is the link between land use on watersheds and consequences in the receiving estuarine ecosystems. The work examines how landscape use and urbanization increase nutrient loading to groundwater and streams.
