The Florian-Rodriguez Lab investigates the cellular and molecular mechanisms of pelvic organ prolapse.

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. 

Dr. Li's research focuses on gene-environment interactions in cardiometabolic disease and chronic kidney disease (CKD), providing crucial insights for precision health. 

Research lab led by Connie Hsia, M.D., in the Biomedical Engineering Graduate Program of UT Southwestern Medical School.

We use neuroimaging, neuromodulation, and behavioral experimentation to elucidate the brain circuits and mechanisms that support language and cognition, and to understand how these circuits differ in neurodevelopmental conditions such as autism. We are particularly interested in the role of cerebro-cerebellar circuits in language and cognition across development and disorders.

Engineered hydrogel biomaterials to improve tissue regeneration and disease modelling

The work of the Chemical Advanced Neuroimaging Lab is focused on developing state-of-the-art proton MRS and MRSI methods and leveraging these tools to answer key clinical questions and improve the quality of neurologic care.

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 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 Ruan Lab focuses its research on developing statistical methods and computational algorithms for multi-omics data with applications in complex human diseases.
