Our lab is interested in addressing a fundamental question of cell biology: How are organelles spatially organized?

At the Fu Lab of human neuroscience we investigate the neural bases of cognitive control.

Obesity and metabolic diseases have been increasing at the alarming rate and threatening our health and economy over the world. However, we still don’t know much about how our metabolic homeostasis is regulated. Understanding the mechanism underlying the regulation of metabolism is a fundamental step towards designing new treatments for obesity and its associated diseases, and many other metabolic diseases

We are interested in the circuit mechanisms of how the cerebellum helps the brain to work better in health and disease.

Our lab is studying novel regulatory mechanisms that control innate immunity in intestinal health and disease.

My lab’s research efforts are based upon a fundamental interest in the genetic and molecular mechanisms involved in childhood cancer.

Our research is driven by a desire to understand how these microscopic machines both replicate themselves and, at the same time, manage to evade, manipulate, and counter a myriad of host defenses. 

We are working at the interface of nanotechnology, drug delivery, and tumor immunology

Our laboratory aims to understand the role of metabolic adaptive mechanisms in cancer progression.

Dr. Garg's research focuses on diabetes, insulin resistance, and disorders of adipose tissue.

The autonomic nervous system comprises a network of sensory and motor neurons that connect the brainstem and spinal cord to thoracic and abdominal organs. A better understanding of the anatomical and functional plasticity of the autonomic nervous system will likely move forward our understanding of numerous chronic diseases including, but not limited to, obesity, diabetes, visceral pain, neuropathy, and eating disorders.

We seek breakthroughs that change scientific fields and yield new strategies for treating disease. Our ultimate goal is to cure people who would not be cured otherwise.

The German Lab focuses its research on Neurodegenerative Diseases and Autism.

Dr. Gibson's current research focuses on the changes in neocortical circuitry in the mouse model of Fragile X Syndrome (the Fmr1 KO mouse), and the mechanisms underlying these changes.

The Gill lab studies the molecular and metabolic pathways that influence melanoma progression and metastasis.

The Glass lab focuses on how genes regulate skin development and function by studying how gene mutations or abnormal gene expression lead to skin disease.

Goldsmith Lab combines drug discovery and mechanistic analysis to understanding protein kinases. 

The Goss lab collaborates with a multidisciplinary group of researchers to study the heart and lungs long after preterm birth. We are part of the Parkland Outcomes after Prematurity Study (POPS), which conducts collaborative research on outcomes of prematurity from birth through adulthood.

Dr. Gray is overseeing one of the nation’s few facilities that manufactures a special type of gene-delivering virus for patient use.

The general focus of the Green Lab is to understand the molecular mechanism of the mammalian circadian clock, how it controls rhythmic biochemistry, physiology and behavior and how loss of clock function can impact health, resulting in metabolic disease, cancer and other ailments.

The Greenberg Lab focuses on translational research relative to autoimmune disorders of the central nervous system.

The Greenberg lab is focused on the development of novel therapeutic approaches to combat infectious diseases. For specific projects, please click on the links to the left.

Our lab uses a combination of electrophysiological and molecular techniques to examine functions sub-served by these states at the cellular and circuit levels.

Working at the boundary between science and philosophy with the goal to inform public policy and advance science education and public understanding of science.

We use theoretical methods to study proteins, genomes and organisms.
