Ayad, Nagi G.
studies the cell biological basis of cell cycle exit and differentiation of neuronal precursors as it relates to cancer and nerve regeneration.
Bohn, Laura
research is aimed at understanding how the molecular regulation of G protein coupled receptors (GPCR) can translate to overall therapeutic responsiveness in patients.
Kenny, Paul
employs a multidisciplinary approach to investigate the underlying neurobiology of psychiatric disorders.
Kishi, Shuji
aims to develop a high-throughput processing system for gene identification and phenotype characterization particularly associated with age-related disorders in humans, using zebarfish as an amenable vertebrate model system.
Luo, Junli
focuses on mechanistic and translational research in molecular signaling that connects epigenetic factors with genetic events during tumor genesis, progression and metastasis
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.
Phinney, Donald G
employs a multi-disciplinary approach to study the basic biology of mesenchymal stem cells and their potential as vectors to treat inflammatory and neurodegenerative disorders.
Scampavia, Louis
works at the high-throughput screening (HTS) robotics facility exploring novel instrumentation and technologies that advance HTS for drug discovery. His work also encompasses the development and transfer of novel biomedical assays for use in HTS campaigns.
