Search Labs

The Welch Lab has a primary interest in developing materials and medical devices for use in treatment of congenital heart disease.

Located in the Department of Ophthalmology, the Wert laboratory studies the post-mitotic neuronal cells of the retina, particularly the photoreceptor cells. Our goal is to discover and understand the mechanisms underlying retinal degenerative disease, and to provide novel therapeutics for these complex degenerative disorders using gene therapy and genome engineering technologies, human stem cell transplantations, and metabolic rescue.

We focus on the discovery of targeted therapies for major drivers of cancer using protein chemistry, enzymology, structural biology, informatics and cell biology. Some of our favorite targets are RAS and kinase proteins.

The Wetzel Lab targets critical steps in the parasite’s life cycle in order to develop therapeutics for Leishmaniasis.

White, Perrin Lab - Labs - Research

The Whitehurst Lab uses RNAi-based functional genomics to identify gene products that support viability and/or modulate chemotherapeutic sensitivity in tumor cells. 

We are interested in understanding at a cellular level the neural control of energy balance and glucose metabolism, and elucidating how these events may participate in human disease.

The Concussion, Acquired Brain Injury, and Neurodegeneration (CABIN) Laboratory, led by Kristin Wilmoth, Ph.D., investigates best practices for assessment and treatment of concussion and more severe traumatic brain injury, other acquired brain injuries such as stroke, and neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's disease.

Wilson Lab

We use live-cell microscopy, nano-rheology, and synthetic biology to understand oocyte ageing, embryogenesis, and cancer onset.

The Wu Laboratory mainly focuses on using human primary nasal and oral epithelium culture to gain novel insights in virus-host interactions.

We are interested in the function of chromatin regulation of signaling pathways important for neural development, brain tumor growth and autism pathogenesis. 

The Wu Laboratory mainly focuses on using stem cell models to gain novel insights in mammalian development and develop regenerative medical applications.

The long-term goal of our lab is to understand the functions of ecDNA and how ecDNA is maintained in cancer. 

The Wu Lab focuses on understanding the molecular pathways that govern T cell differentiation and function during infection and cancer.

Our work advocates for the wider adoption of alteplase, antiplatelet therapy in ischemic stroke, secondary stroke prevention, off-label guidelines for those with acute ischemic stroke, and more.

I am interested in developing computational models and algorithms for big data to predict patients' outcomes, which can help clinicians to tailor treatment plans for individual patients.

The focus of our current research is the biochemistry and molecular characterization of ABCG5/ABCG8 transporter, aiming at understanding the mechanism by which this transport system operates to translocate cholesterol cross membranes.

Our team is interested in developing computational models to predict patient outcomes, which will allow clinicians to tailor treatment plans for individual patients.

Welcome to the Xing Lab in the Eugene McDermott Center for Human Growth and Development!

The lab focuses on developing bioinformatics algorithms and deep learning models to identify new disease genes and therapeutic targets for human diseases, as well as development and maintenance of data management system for genomic and clinical databases.

Wei Xu Lab strives to achieve a mechanistic understanding of fundamental cognitive processes, explore their impairments in neuropsychiatric disorders, and discover innovative treatments for these conditions. 

Our lab focuses on the neural dynamics for successful memory access and retrieval during episodic working memory tasks to elucidate the neural circuit mechanism in the hippocampal-cortical network.

Since I began studying the biological rhythms of insects during graduate school, I have been fascinated with the accuracy of the circadian timing system and the phenomenal influence of the circadian clock on almost all biological activities. This fascination has fueled my interest in learning about circadian rhythms for more than a quarter of a century.
