Burstein Laboratory focuses on understanding the regulation of the inflammatory response at a molecular level, and elucidating how these events may participate in human disease.

We use genetic systems to deconstruct functions associated with the most commonly mutated genes found in human cancers.

The Hendrixson Lab is largely focused on exploring the biology of polarly-flagellated bacterial pathogens….and junk food, donuts, and cake.

Our laboratory is interested in improving treatment for patients with glioblastoma (GBM) and other cancers. We work on understanding signal transduction pathways involved in the pathogenesis of cancer. Recent work has focused on investigating mechanisms of resistance to targeted treatment in GBM and lung cancer. We are also interested in mechanisms regulating invasion in GBM. 

The Liou Lab seeks to understand the principles underlying communication between organelles within mammalian cells.

The Volk Lab's research focuses on the hippocampus as they research how the brain balances dynamic learning and persistent memory.

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

Jonathan Cheng's Lab performs a comprehensive suite of outcome measures to assess peripheral nerve recovery and chronic neural interfacing in the research setting.

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.

Wei Xu Lab strives to achieve a mechanistic understanding of fundamental cognitive processes, explore their impairments in neuropsychiatric disorders, and discover innovative treatments for these conditions. 

The Busch Lab develops optical technologies for minimally and non-invasive bedside assessment of microvascular blood flow and oxygen saturation, allowing continuous assessment of aerobic metabolism. 

The primary research focus of the Karner lab is to create and utilize novel mouse genetic models to study the role of cellular metabolism during skeletal development and disease. 

Zeng Lab is interested in understanding at the molecular level key questions lying at the interface between biochemistry, cell biology, metabolic and neural physiology, including the bidirectional communication between autonomic neurons and adipocytes, the molecular basis of the phenotypic plasticity, or the lack of, in brown, beige and white adipocytes, and roles of uncharacterized enzymatic pathways in adipose thermogenesis.

This facility is the home to five high field solution NMR spectrometers ranging from 500 MHz to 800 MHz and a Solid State 600 MHz DNP system, primarily in support of studies of macromolecular structure, function and dynamics.

The Rosen Lab seeks to understand the formation, regulation, functions and internal structures of membraneless cellular compartments termed biomolecular condensates.

Saelices Lab employs crystallography and cryo-EM to study amyloid deposition and design anti-amyloid tools.

The Bailey lab focuses on developing gene therapies for neurological disorders. We work on monogenetic pediatric disorders, including SLC13A5 epileptic encephalopathy, multiple sulfatase deficiency, Charcot Marie Tooth disease type 4J, giant axonal neuropathy and ECHS1 deficiency.

Henne lab is interested in how cells spatially organize their metabolism to adapt to a constantly changing environment.
