Children with in-born errors of immunity are prone to life-threatening viral, bacterial, and fungal infections. We study the causes of their immune system problems, combining clinical insights and mouse models genocopying the various mutations. This work includes a profiling of immune responses to infections (e.g., COVID-19) in normal healthy individuals along with different patient populations (e.g. 22q11.2 deletion syndrome).
Discover the Miguel Vazquez Lab at UT Southwestern, leading research in chronic kidney disease, diabetes, and hypertension. Learn about the IDC-Pieces study—a large, NIH-supported clinical trial improving chronic disease management through innovative care models and technology.
Dr. Vega and co-workers have discovered three other causes of high LDL. First, she found that some patients have abnormal LDL particles that cannot be removed from circulation because the abnormal LDL does not recognize the receptors.
We leverage our knowledge of fundamental neuroscience to create wearable bidirectional brain-machine interfaces for the restoration and assistance of upper limb sensation and movement in people with paralysis.
The Vernino Lab focuses on the mechanisms of autoimmune disorders of the nervous system, especially those associated with neurological autoantibodies. We use a variety of techniques including histology, and immunology. This research is complemented by clinical therapeutic trials studying novel treatments for autoimmune encephalitis and autonomic disorders.
The main focus of the Vinogradov Lab is developing MRI methods that are based on the intrinsic biochemical processes and physical properties of the tissue: chemical exchange rearrangements, molecular networks, and relaxation.
Explore the Vongpatanasin Lab at UT Southwestern, specializing in research on neural control of blood pressure, autonomic dysfunction, and the impact of nutrition and hormones on cardiovascular health. Discover clinical studies, lab members, and featured publications advancing hypertension and autonomic research.
