Our goal is to employ cryo-EM to determine high resolution structures of important membrane protein complexes involved in cellular signaling, including cellular receptors and ion channels. We also combine structural approaches with functional studies to reveal the structure-function relationships of these membrane proteins.
The Bailey lab focuses on developing gene therapies for neurological disorders. We work on monogenetic pediatric disorders, including SLC13A5 epileptic encephalopathy, multiple sulfatase deficiency, Charcot Marie Tooth disease type 4J, giant axonal neuropathy and ECHS1 deficiency.
Dr. Bedimo studies strategies for optimally managing drug-resistant HIV patients, analyzing metabolic abnormalities in HIV patients, and studying the effects of HCV co-infection.
The Bezerra Lab current studies investigate how developmental defects increase the susceptibility of the biliary epithelium to infectious and toxic insults.
This facility is the home to five high field solution NMR spectrometers ranging from 500 MHz to 800 MHz and a Solid State 600 MHz DNP system, primarily in support of studies of macromolecular structure, function and dynamics.
The Bowen Lab focuses on the development of hybrid positron emission tomography (PET) (e.g. PET-CT and PET-MR) tools to enable precision imaging for the care and study of oncology, neurology, and cardiology patients.
The Brekken laboratory, located in the Hamon Center for Therapeutic Oncology Research, studies tumor-host interactions with a particular emphasis on extracellular matrix (ECM) and angiogenesis.
Our laboratory discovered a family of transcription factors called sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) that control cholesterol and fatty acid synthesis.
Dr. Brown's Psychoneuroendocrine Research Program (PNE) at UT Southwestern Medical Center focuses on two different areas of research: substance abuse, particularly dual diagnoses (e.g., depression or bipolar disorder); and the effects of corticosteroids (e.g., prednisone) on mood and memory.
The Burgess lab uses Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy and Mass Spectrometry in conjunction with stable isotope (non-radioactive) tracers to study how metabolic flux is altered by disease, pharmacology, or targeted genetic interventions.
Burstein Laboratory focuses on understanding the regulation of the inflammatory response at a molecular level, and elucidating how these events may participate in human disease.
The Busch Lab develops optical technologies for minimally and non-invasive bedside assessment of microvascular blood flow and oxygen saturation, allowing continuous assessment of aerobic metabolism.
