Our research is focused on (1) identifying low-risk patients that would benefit from minimal treatment or surveillance, and (2) devising methods of sensitization to current therapies.

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.

We study the role of chromatin regulation in cell fate decisions.

Our laboratory has characterized many of the transporters responsible for proximal tubule acidification and solute transport

The Beckham lab is a dynamic multidisciplinary laboratory that studies viral pathogenesis and neuroimmune responses.

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. 

We combine classical genetics with modern technology to understand human physiology and search for breakthrough treatments for diseases.

Our goal is to understand the importance of calcium signaling in development of neurodegenerative disorders.

The Bioinformatics Lab provides services to manage and analyze next-generation sequencing data.

Our mission is to innovate, develop, and apply biomedical technology to empower cancer research.

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.

Our research is largely aimed at understanding how an organism detects mechanical force.

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 BRAIN lab, short for Brain Aging, Injury, and Modulation Lab, has two lines of research in the area of aging and neurodegenerative diseases. The lab investigates the later-in-life effects of traumatic brain injury, which involves understanding the potential risk associated with developing dementia and the underlying biological pathways. The lab also studies the effects of noninvasive brain stimulation in Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders with the goal of informing the development of new treatments.

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. 

• To understand how kidney cancer develops at the molecular level.
• To translate our findings into new treatments for kidney cancer patients.
• To train the next generation of physicians and scientists.

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.
