The Bearer lab uses many different imaging technologies, coupled with molecular genetics and computational modeling, to study circuitry dynamics in health and disease states. Learn more
Dr. Buranda's research interests include cell signaling and cell adhesion, spatiotemporal aspects of signaling and internalization, virus-host cell interactions (attachment and entry, effects on signal transduction, identification of new molecular targets relevant to viral pathogenesis: new approaches to identify cellular changes relevant to pathogenic mechanisms).

The Endicott Lab addresses scientific questions pertaining to selective lysosomal protein degradation by chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA). We are interested in the physiological mechanisms of CMA regulation, and in the role that CMA plays in regulating metabolism, age-related disease, and longevity. Learn more
The Gillette Lab studies how cell communication within the bone marrow microenvironment serves to regulate healthy and malignant cells. Currently, we focus our research on studies with hematopoietic and leukemic stem cells as well as solid tumor cells such as ovarian cancer. Learn more
The Gullapalli lab studies the role of environmental pollutants in hepatobiliary disease causation. The lab studies the impact of toxins such as heavy metals (cadmium) and plastic pollution in metabolic (dysfunction) associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and type II diabetes. Experimental techniques of molecular biology, fluorescence spectroscopy and imaging, next-generation sequencing, bioinformatics, and metabolomics are used to study this complex emerging disease.

We are a research group interested in studying the underlying mechanisms of how mechanobiology plays a role in cancer progression. Learn more
The Lidke Lab's research integrates the disciplines of biophysics, bio-imaging and quantitative biology to gain new and fundamental understanding of the components and dynamics of cell signaling pathways. Learn more
The Neumann laboratory uses advanced fluorescence microscopy methods to investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms of innate immune recognition of fungal pathogens. Learn more
Tara G. Ooms Konecny is the attending veterinarian for three animal care and use research programs. Learn more
Dr. Sklar's diverse publications include topics such as cell adhesion and integrins, data science, drug repurposing, g protein-coupled receptors, low molecular weight GTPases, small molecule discovery, small molecules for infectious disease, technology development, and imaging, and Efflux transporters. Learn more
Mara P. Steinkamp’s research focuses on targeted therapies for ovarian cancer treatment using patient-derived models of disseminated ovarian cancer. Learn more
The primary focus of the Willman Laboratory research is the application of gene expression signatures to the diagnosis and personalized treatment of acute leukemias. One of the foremost challenges in cancer therapy is the selective targeting of cancer cells while minimizing the impact on normal ones. Through the discoveries arising from gene expression analysis, specific lesions have been identified in a high-risk leukemia subtype that now permit much greater specificity in its treatment and involve fewer side effects.
