Our research focuses on genetic epilepsy and will help us understand the roles of genes such as ASH1L and SLC13A5 through clinical patient studies and mouse models, advancing treatment options for these disorders and deepening the understanding of epilepsy.
The Liu Lab studies the seasonal clock and its roles in human health. We use a new seasonal primate model, the mouse lemur, and an interdisciplinary approach of molecular biology, genetics, omics, machine learning, and computational modeling. We also apply the mouse lemur primate model to study pathophysiology that is poorly represented in mice, with a focus on neurodegeneration, immunology, and metabolism.
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 major interest of my lab is to understand the transcriptional regulatory mechanisms involved in human diseases with a focus on cardiovascular diseases and cancer.
Dr. LoBue's 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 Louros Lab uses a hybrid approach combining molecular biophysics, structural biology, and bioinformatics to investigate protein stability, misfolding, and aggregation, with a particular interest in neurodegenerative diseases.
We use in vivo models of ischemic acute kidney injury in mice, and in vitro model systems to perform detailed studies of proinflammatory genes activated by renal ischemia/reperfusion.
For decades, the field of tuberculosis (TB) immunology has focused on T cell mediated protection, yet Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) still impacts one in four individuals worldwide today.
Our research aims to obtain a comprehensive picture of how genomic stability and chromatin dynamics affect neuronal functions, including learning behaviors, and to apply this knowledge to combat neurological disorders.
Dr. Maldjian's ANSIR Lab is devoted to the application of novel image analysis methods (e.g. diffeomorphic registration, machine learning, graph theory, ASL) to research studies, as well as to robust clinical translation of these techniques.
Malloy Lab has all the tools necessary for students at all levels to lean about metabolic imaging of physiology and disease and I am excited to participate.
Malter Lab focuses on exploring and characterizing intracellular signaling pathways in the immune and nervous systems and identifying how defects/abnormalities can lead to disease.
The Mangelsdorf/Kliewer Lab studies two signal transduction pathways that offer new therapeutic potential for treating diseases such as diabetes, obesity, cancer, and parasitism.
