Welcome to the Lowery Lab website! We are busy working on a number of different research projects, ranging from microtubule dynamics during axon guidance to craniofacial development to cancer metastasis. We are currently funded by the NIH and the Ellison Foundation.

The Lowery Lab has been located at the Boston Medical Center in the Section of Hematology and Medical Oncology within the Department of Medicine at Boston University since 2020, and Laura Lowery is currently an Associate Professor at Boston University. Prior to that, the lab was located at Boston College (2014-2019). Laura is also the Section's Associate Chief for Faculty Affairs and the Equity and Belonging Committee Chair.

The Lowery Lab aims to create a safe space for all members of this community to learn, grow, and succeed in their life goals, and we are committed to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in the sciences. We welcome and celebrate individuals of all races, ethnicities, social backgrounds, religion, gender, sex, age, disability, sexual orientation, veteran status, and national origin.

The Lab is currently full, and unfortunately, we do not have nor anticipate any spots for trainees this year.

In addition to running her research lab and promoting connection and belonging at BU/BMC, Laura has several websites that might be useful to trainees. Her personal blog can be found at drlauraloweryblog.com. A full listing of her various websites can be found here.
