Paegel, Brian
studies the controlled synthesis and engineering of phospholipid vesicles and emulsions, microfluidic circuit design, and directed evolution of membrane-associated transporters, pores, and receptors.
Petrie, Howard
focuses on the production of specialized blood cells called T lymphocytes, which are central mediators of the immune response. Understanding this is central in developing treatments for immunodeficiencies resulting from environmental exposure (such as HIV/AIDS) or aging.
Roush, William
focuses on the total synthesis of structurally complex and biologically interesting natural products, development of new synthetic methods and strategies, and on problems in medicinal and bioorganic chemistry.
Strosberg, Donny
by studying protein-protein interactions in HCV, identifies and characterizes peptides and small molecules that affect host-pathogen relations, e.g. inhibit HCV release from cultured hepatoma cells.
