Julian Binfield
Binfield has over 20 years of policy analysis experience with the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute. Over that period, he has used dynamic partial equilibrium models to analyze a range of policies including trade policies and domestic support policies, as well as the impact of external factors such as weather and changes in the macroeconomy. He has coordinated several long-term research projects with international colleagues in Europe and Africa. Binfield teaches two policy related undergraduate classes and advises at the postgraduate level at the University of Missouri.

Peter V. Cornish
Research in our laboratory is primarily focused on understanding the complexities of ribosome function using a variety of biophysical methods including NMR and single molecule techniques. One of our projects is in understanding translational regulation in particular the mechanism of recoding where the ribosome shifts reading frame due to the presence of specific structures within the mRNA. Recoding has been observed in all forms of life and has been shown to be essential for the viability of many viruses including HIV-1 and SARS coronavirus. We are also contributing to the ongoing effort of developing antiviral small molecules that specifically target…

Susanta Behura
Our lab uses multi-omics data including transcriptomics, epigenetics, metabolomics, proteomics, and single-cell genomics to address fundamental questions relating to Animal Genetics, Genomics and Reproductive Biology. Currently, our research aims are to better understand the regulation of fetal brain development in animals. Our future plans are to investigate how early-life stress and abnormalities impact brain health and diseases later in life. The overarching goals of the lab is to expand our understanding of fundamental biological questions and accelerate the transition from basic science to translational research.

Peter Sutovsky
Peter Sutovsky is a Professor of Animal Science in the College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, University of Missouri, also appointed as Professor of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Women’s Health at the School of Medicine, University of Missouri Health System. Since the early 90’s, Sutovsky has studied mammalian gametogenesis, fertilization, and pre-implantation embryonic development with special emphasis on the gamete and zygotic ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS), publishing his work in Nature, Nature Communications, Nature Medicine, PNAS and other prestigious journals. He was the first to describe the role of UPS in the regulation of mitochondrial inheritance and introduced a novel concept…
