The Sun Lab is focused on developing novel imaging probes for noninvasive assessment of specific biomarkers implicated in disease initiation, progression, or regression, and exploring the translational roles of imaging probes and/or methodologies in clinical medicine practice with the ultimate goal to improve the outcome of patient care.
Our lab's focus is to develop novel tools aimed at understanding ion channel physiology and molecular mechanism in an isolated membrane environment.
The Tagliabracci Lab studies the phosphorylation of extracellular proteins by a novel family of secreted kinases. This kinase family is so different from canonical kinases that it was not included as a branch on the human kinome tree.
The Takahashi Lab is interested in understanding the genetic and molecular basis of circadian rhythms as well as other complex behaviors.
The Tambar Group develops new strategies and concepts in synthetic chemistry to address challenging problems in chemistry and biology.
The lab investigates the nature and treatment of cognitive deficits commonly seen in schizophrenia and related disorders.
Under the guidance of director Dr. Daolin Tang, the research group focuses on basic, translational and clinical application research on damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) signaling pathways. Inflammation is a fundamental response to infection and injury in all multicellular organisms. The danger hypothesis states that endogenous molecules (protein and non-protein) released during cell death or tissue damage can trigger inflammation in the absence of infection, collectively referred to as DAMPs. We are particularly interested in elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying stress-induced cellular defense and cell death signaling in normal and cancer cells, and how release of DAMPs modulates immune responses in disease.
The Tatara Laboratory applies engineering technologies to study and treat infectious diseases. We are particularly engaged in device-related infection, orthopedic immunology, and pathogen virulence on biomaterial surfaces.
The Terada Lab is focused on several areas of cellular signaling which control basic mechanical and cell fate decision programs.
Research in my laboratory focuses on better understanding the molecules and mechanisms that assemble axonal connections with a goal of utilizing this knowledge to encourage axons to reestablish their connections after trauma or disease.
The Connected Aging Lab is committed to advancing brain health and emotional well-being in older adults by developing inclusive, relationship-centered interventions that bridge science, clinical care, and community.
The Thinwa lab studies neurotropic viruses, host defense pathways, autophagy and brain development.
In our lab, we focus on the mechanisms of cerebrovascular reactivity, exploring how blood vessels in the brain respond to changes in carbon dioxide, blood pressure, and other stimuli.
The Tong lab studies the cellular and molecular mechanisms of cardiovascular diseases associated with systemic metabolic disorders, particularly heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and atrial fibrillation (AF), with an eye toward translating these findings into innovative solutions to clinical problems.
We investigate genetic and molecular basis of phenotypic diversity observed in nature by using a range of methodologies such as whole genome sequencing, fluidics, long-term evolution experiments, and large-scale combinatorial mutagenesis.
My research interests include prevention of progression of renal diseases, diagnoses, and management of lipid disorders in renal disease, hypertensive nephrosclerosis, the role of angiotensin II converting enzyme inhibitors, and angiotensin II receptor blockers in renal disease.
The Tower lab integrates multi-omics-based approaches in the fields of musculoskeletal development, homeostasis, repair and regeneration.
The Center for Depression Research and Clinical Care (CDRC) is nationally recognized for its cutting-edge research in unipolar and bipolar depression. The research conducted within the center brings better understanding of the causes of depression, identifies effective new treatments, and improves existing ones.
Translational Research in UltraSound Theranostics (TRUST) Lab at UT Southwestern
Tsai Lab studies the cellular and molecular mechanisms of synapse and neural circuit development.
The Tu Lab is investigating how a variety of cellular processes and decisions are coordinated with metabolic state, and how the dysregulation of these mechanisms might be linked to disease and aging.
The Turer Lab is interested in finding genes with novel functions in intestinal immune homeostasis. Our projects generally involve a mix of experimental approaches examining both the intestinal epithelium as well as hematopoietic causes of intestinal inflammation.
spinal cord injury, wound, pressure ulcer
The goal of the Ufret-Vincenty Lab is to develop therapeutic strategies for age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
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).
