The Pfeiffer Lab is interested in how the brain forms neural representations of experience, how those representations are consolidated into long-term memory, and how those representations can be later recalled to inform behavior.
Our lab uses tractable model viruses to learn about niche-specific factors that influence viral infection and evolution.
We are developing inhibitors of pyrimidine biosynthesis and polyamine biosynthesis to treat malaria and African sleeping sickness. We study polyamine and nucleotide metabolism in African trypanosomes to learn about novel metabolism and regulation.
Learn about Dr. Shanti Pinto's Lab.
The goal of our research is to identify key immune checkpoints of gastrointestinal disorders that could be targeted for therapeutic intervention and drug development.
The Pool Lab studies neural circuits that provide a sense of purpose and direction to animal behavior and develops targeted gene therapies to re-engineer their function.
Pouratian Lab's primary mission is to explore basic human neuroscientific principles as well as identify brain mapping biomarkers of disease that can drive innovative approaches to restore function to patients with neurological and psychiatric diseases.
Dr. Prinz's research is focused on the tiny organelles within cells that do the cell’s work, much like the organs in a human body. He is best known for studies into the exchange of fats (also called lipids) between organelles at so-called membrane contact sites where organelles come in close contact within a cell.
The METRICS PROSPR II Research Center studies the multilevel factors that hamper or facilitate the cervical cancer screening process and reduce disparities in vulnerable populations.
The Psychoneuroendocrine Research Program (PNE) at UT Southwestern Medical Center focuses on two different areas of research: substance abuse, particularly dual diagnoses (e.g., depression or bipolar disorder); and the effects of corticosteroids (e.g., prednisone) on mood and memory.
Dr. Robin Jarrett’s Psychosocial Research and Depression Clinic aims to understand how psychosocial factors influence health in mood and related disorders.
The global focus of the Pulmonary Physiology Laboratory is the study of pulmonary exercise physiology, particularly as it pertains to pulmonary disease, normal aging, obesity, ventilatory control during exercise, applied respiratory physiology, and clinical cardiopulmonary exercise testing. The Lab consists of three separate investigative laboratories: the pulmonary function laboratory, the cardiopulmonary exercise physiology laboratory, and the body composition laboratory including DEXA imaging for the determination of percent body fat, lean body mass, bone content, visceral fat, overall fat distribution, and their effects on breathing.
Qi lab specializes in investigating the structure and function of membrane proteins related to human diseases using cryo-EM, cell-based assays, and mouse models.
Qiao lab focuses on mechanisms of cancer immunotherapy and immune-related adverse events (irAEs)
Qin Lab focuses on the development of novel synthetic transformations and strategies that will allow access to bioactive, complex natural products and efficient synthesis of pharmaceuticals and their derivatives.
We are interested in how membrane cholesterol controls diverse cellular signaling pathways to ensure lipid homeostasis, enable cell growth, and protect against infections.
Our mission is to decrease suffering and death from metastatic cancers
We are broadly interested in how energy is regulated on a systems level during infection. Our current projects are focused on understanding the role that adipose tissue plays in the response to influenza and SARS-CoV2.
We are driven by the belief that the spatial organization of tissue provides a powerful window into cell-cell interactions, a crucial component of disease progression and response.
The Ready Lab is engaged in the discovery and synthesis of biologically active small molecules
The Reddy Lab focuses on restoring effective antigen presentation to enhance anti-tumor immunity in breast cancers.
