The research interests of the Lux Lab lie in the development of novel nanomedicine platforms to diagnose and treat disease in vivo noninvasively.

We do difficult experiments at the frontier of cell physiology, often with our own methods and always with our own hands.

In the Zhang Lab, we seek to understand the molecular mechanisms of metabolic diseases, with the long-term goal of creating novel therapeutic strategies.

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.

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.

Our lab uses tractable model viruses to learn about niche-specific factors that influence viral infection and evolution.

The broad research interest of Fei Wang lab is in dissecting molecular mechanisms of essential membrane-associated cellular events in eukaryotic cell development.

Our research program focuses on understanding how dysregulation of lipid uptake and trafficking contributes to human diseases. 

The Wu Lab focuses on understanding the molecular pathways that govern T cell differentiation and function during infection and cancer.

The Terada Lab is focused on several areas of cellular signaling which control basic mechanical and cell fate decision programs. 

The Wu Laboratory mainly focuses on using stem cell models to gain novel insights in mammalian development and develop regenerative medical applications.

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 Harbour Lab uses genomic technologies and genetically engineered human cells and mouse models to develop biomarkers and elucidate mechanisms of tumor evolution and metastasis in uveal melanoma and retinoblastoma.

Psychoneuroendocrine Research Program (PNE) at UT Southwestern Medical Center.

The Huber lab is focused on understanding how activity-regulated transcription and translation in neurons controls synapse and circuit plasticity and development.

Dr. Robin Jarrett’s Psychosocial Research and Depression Clinic aims to understand how psychosocial factors influence health in mood and related disorders.

Sumber Lab conducts translational research that seeks to uncover the mysteries of cancer and develop powerful methods for its detection and cure.

Satterthwaite Lab studies the signals that control B lymphocyte development, activation, and differentiation into antibody-secreting plasma cells, both normally and in autoimmune diseases such as lupus. We hope that by defining these events, we can reveal new approaches to modulate antibody responses therapeutically.

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.
