Cai (Ling) Lab

We are interested in taking bioinformatics and data integration approaches to gain insights into cancer metabolism, inborn errors of metabolism, and lung neoplasm.

  • Ling Cai, Ph.D.

Cai (Xin) Lab

How do cells sense metabolites to drive their growth and proliferation?  We seek to study metabolites not only as nutrients but as cellular instruction signals that dictate cell biology.

Calvier Lab

The Calvier Lab's research focuses on endothelial modulation as a therapeutic approach to inflammatory diseases.

  • Laurent Calvier

Camacho Lab

The Camacho Lab focuses on understanding key genetic events that lead to cancer in an effort to identify novel targets that will help improve existing therapies

  • Cristel Camacho, Ph.D.
Cancer Biology

Cancer Care Delivery Research Collaborative

The CDR Collaborative studies last mile delivery problems across the cancer control continuum to develop and implement solutions.

  • Arthur S Hong, M.D., M.P.H.

Cao Lab

We study bacterial RNA polymerase function and regulation.

  • Xinyun (Sherry) Cao, Ph.D.
Biological Chemistry Molecular Microbiology

Cardiovascular Clinical Research Center (CCRC)

We conduct state-of-the-art clinical trials in the field of cardiovascular diseases, offering patients access to advanced clinical therapies that would otherwise not be available.

  • Jose Joglar, M.D. FACC, FAHA, FHRS,
  • Darren K. McGuire, M.D., M.H.Sc., FACC, FAHA,

Cardiovascular Physiology Autonomic Function Lab

The global focus of the Cardiovascular Physiology Autonomic Function Laboratory is to examine the adaptive capacity of the circulation.

  • We study the effects of exercise training, bed rest deconditioning, spaceflight, high altitude, aging, and the effects of cardiovascular diseases, such as heart failure.
  • By using sophisticated tools to assess cardiovascular structure and function, our research team brings "Olympic" and "space age" science to the solution of common clinical problems such as fainting, hypertension, or patients with shortness of breath. 
  • We focus on measuring how the cardio-respiratory system distributes oxygen from the environment to the muscles.
  • Our facility is one of the few labs in the world that can measure the limitations to exercise capacity at every step along the "oxygen cascade" - including the lungs, heart and muscles.
  • We use invasive and non-invasive tools to assess cardiovascular structure and function, as well as circulatory control mechanisms.
  • Benjamin Levine, M.D.
  • James MacNamara, M.D.
  • Satyam Sarma, M.D.

Carlson Lab

The work of Deborah Carlson, Ph.D., focuses on characterizing the inflammasome mediating the inflammatory response in the heart following thermal injury and thermal injury complicated with sepsis. 

  • Deborah Carlson, Ph.D.

Carroll Lab

Kidney disease has reached epidemic proportions in the U.S. The Carroll Lab performs basic and translational research focused on kidney development, maintenance and regeneration. 

  • Thomas Carroll, Ph.D.

Chalak Lab

Dr. Chalak’s lab focuses on improving neonatal neurologic care and outcomes for vulnerable babies through the NeuroNICU clinical program, Neonatal Neurology Fellowship, and NIH research program.

  • Lina Chalak, M.D.

Chan (Kimberly) Lab

The work of the CHemical Advanced Neuroimaging lab is focused on developing state-of-the-art proton MRS and MRSI methods and leveraging these tools to answer key clinical questions and improve the quality of neurologic care.

  • Kimberly Chan, Ph.D.

Chan Lab

Our lab is creating better experimental models that reveal how cancer cells metastasize and evade our immune system. We use these models to develop new drugs that engage our immune system to kill cancer cells.
