The Collaborative for Advanced Clinical Techniques in UltraSound (CACTUS) constitutes a group of like-minded physicians, scientists, and technical experts dedicated to the advancement of clinical imaging, technical and translational research, and image-guided intervention in ultrasound.
The long-term goal of Fiolka Lab's research is to develop and implement imaging technologies that provide unprecedented insight into cancer biology.
The Florian-Rodriguez Lab investigates the cellular and molecular mechanisms of pelvic organ prolapse.
Our laboratory studies the cell biology of viral-host interactions.
Bacteria and phages are in everlasting conflict – constantly devising new genes, systems, and mechanisms to keep pace with their competitors. The Forsberg lab studies this “evolutionary arms race”, using high-powered selections to unearth new functions and careful experiments to reveal their mechanisms.
We investigate how the immune system and gut microbiota influence brain function and behavior. We use molecular, behavioral, anatomical, and immunological approaches in the lab. In parallel, we collaborate with clinical groups to examine the role of inflammatory and gut-brain mediators in psychiatric illness.
The Foster Lab research program represents a “best in class” translational research approach in an enriched, multidisciplinary environment. Foster's academic activities include a strong translational research program, a comprehensive teaching portfolio, science outreach, contribution to local, national, and international peer review and knowledge translation.
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.
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.
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.
The Gloeggler lab is interested in spin phenomena and explores how to use them as new contrast mechanism for magnetic resonance. One focus is on using parahydrogen, a spin isomer of hydrogen gas, and how to harvest its spin order to obtain signal enhanced/hyperpolarized contrast agents.
Goldsmith Lab combines drug discovery and mechanistic analysis to understanding protein kinases.
The Gospocic group studies how epigenetic pathways and gene expression regulate brain plasticity in the context of social behavior and aging by working with a unique ant species Harpegnathos saltator. We take a multidisciplinary approach and combine functional genomics, biochemistry, and behavioral assays in H. saltator, as well as the conventional Drosophila and mouse models to expedite genetic screening and provide evolutionary context to identified epigenetic pathways.
Specialty Areas: epigenetics, chromatin biology, gene regulation, social behavior, aging, neurodegeneration
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.
