Search Labs

We are interested in understanding how animals process both external and internal sensory information to interact appropriately with their environment.

The UT Larynx Lab is a collaboration between The University of Texas at Dallas and UT Southwestern. Our research focuses on the role of the larynx in vocal production and sensorimotor voice and breathing disorders.

The Leavey Lab focuses on clinical and translational trials in pediatric sarcoma.

The Lee Lab is dedicated to leveraging human and molecular genetics to explore the complex interactions between cells and the surrounding extracellular matrix, with a particular focus on cardiovascular development and disease. 

Our research is aimed at innovating and translating computational technology to advance biomedical research and medical diagnoses/treatments.

Texas Computational Memory Lab research focuses on analyzing the neural activity that gives rise to successful memories and facilitates memory retrieval. 

Our mission is to improve the lives of people living with skin and musculoskeletal diseases through rigorous science and compassion.

Dr. Li's research focuses on gene-environment interactions in cardiometabolic disease and chronic kidney disease (CKD), providing crucial insights for precision health. 

The N-LAB's mission is to develop novel neuroimaging and neuroengineering methods to integrate molecular and system neuroscience and solve brain science problems.

The overarching goal of Wen-hong Li Lab is to investigate mechanisms responsible for maintaining islet cell function and to devise new strategies for enhancing beta cell fitness and robustness to prevent or treat diabetes.

Our lab focuses on membrane proteins in cholesterol biogenesis, transport, and signaling using multiple approaches from protein engineering, to x-ray crystallography and cryo-EM.

Our lab studies the fundamental mechanisms of how commensal fungi survive and persist within a host niche filled with a multitude of innate and adaptive immune effectors, under both homeostatic and inflammatory conditions. We aim for our study to provide unique insights into human diseases, such as asthma, inflammatory bowel disease, and cancer, and provides the foundation for novel immunotherapeutic approaches.

The Liang lab's research focuses on delineating the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying chronic liver disease.

Our mission is to understand the most fundamental questions in cancer biology, such as tumor initiation, progession, and response to therapy, through state-of-the-art experimentation, fruitful collaborations and, above all, out-of-the box thinking to develop novel, safe(r) and more effective therapies to win the fight against cancer!

The Lin lab develops theoretical models and uses computational tools to find the performance limits of complex biological systems. 

The goal of Lin (Weichun) Lab's research is to understand how neurons establish synaptic connections during development, and how these connections are maintained throughout adulthood. Toward this goal, we are currently focusing on the following two areas of research.

The Lin Lab studies the transformation of brief experiences into enduring memories, their impact on behaviors, and the differing responses seen in both healthy and diseased conditions. Utilizing a multidisciplinary approach, our research explores how experience-induced genetic programs establish connections between experiences and synaptic modifications within neural circuits, ultimately driving persistent behavioral changes.

The Liou Lab seeks to understand the principles underlying communication between organelles within mammalian cells.

Glen Liszczak  laboratory is exploring cellular signaling mechanisms that regulate transcription and preserve genome stability.

The Liu Lab investigates genetic and environmental factors leading towards obesity and metabolic syndrome in children and adolescents.

BiMIR aims at pushing the state of the art in clinical diagnosis and benefit to patients by developing novel medical imaging technologies and enhancing our understanding of the underlying tissue health conditions.

The Liu Lab is Interested in developing and evaluating novel therapies, notably targeting tumor vasculatures.

We are interested in how epithelial tissues sense and respond to injury.

Xin Liu Lab is interested in understanding the regulation of transcription and chromatin dynamics underlying many fundamental biological processes including differentiation, development, and oncogenesis.

The Liu Lab is interested in the functions and mechanism of codon usage biases, circadian clocks, and non-coding RNA
