Bio-X Affiliated FacultyDr. Wendy Fantl’s lab studies two key questions with unmet clinical need related to drug resistance and immunotherapy focusing on ovarian and kidney cancers. The lab applies multi-parametric single-cell proteomic technologies (mass cytometry aka Cytometry by Time-Of-Flight (CyTOF) and multiplex imaging (CO-Detection by indEXing (CODEX)) combined with specialized computational approaches to address these questions.

Wah Chiu - Professor of Photon Science, Bioengineering, and of Microbiology & Immunology
Bio-X Affiliated Faculty, Clark Center FacultyDr. Chiu's research is the development of methodology for electron cryo-microscopy to determine 3D structures of macromolecules, molecular machines, organelles and cells. -
W. E. Moerner - Harry S. Mosher Professor and Professor of Chemistry and (by courtesy) of Applied Physics
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyDr. Moerner's laboratory utilizes laser spectroscopy and microscopy of single molecules to probe biological processes, one biomolecule at a time. -
Vivianne Tawfik - Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology, Perioperative & Pain Medicine
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyDr. Tawfik's overall research interest is to understand how the immune system interacts with the nervous system after injury to promote the transition from acute to chronic pain. -
Vivek Bhalla - Associate Professor of Medicine (Nephrology)
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyThe Bhalla Laboratory uses in vivo and in vitro approaches to study mechanisms of glomerular and tubular physiology critical to kidney health and disease. The lab began working on fundamental regulators of tubular transport and have expanded to study these modes of regulation in metabolic disease including obesity, insulin resistance, and hypertension. -
Vittorio Sebastiano - Assistant Professor (Research) of Obstetrics and Gynecology (Reproductive and Stem Cell Biology)
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyThe focus of Dr. Sebastiano's research is the thread of Ariadne that connects germ cells, preimplatation development and pluripotent stem cells, with a specific interest in human development. -
Virginia Winn - Associate Professor of Obstetrics & Gynecology (Reproductive & Stem Cell Biology)
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyThe Winn Laboratory seeks to understand both normal and abnormal human placental development and biology as it relates to pregnancy health and obstetric complications. Through a combination of molecular, cellular, tissue and translational studies, a primary focus of the lab is understanding preeclampsia pathogenesis. -
Virginia Walbot - Professor of Biology
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyThe Walbot Lab has intriguing clues that a novel type of small RNA (phasiRNAs = phased small RNAs of 21 or 24 nucleotides) are critical for early steps in in anther development. -
Vipul Sheth - Assistant Professor of Radiology
Bio-X Affiliated FacultyDr. Vipul Sheth's research interests are in translational research of magnetic resonance imaging related technologies to improve diagnostics and therapeutics. Specifically, Dr. Sheth has an interest in imaging and characterization of the tumor microenvironment, use of ultrashort echo time in Body MRI applications, and developing synergistic MRI methods to complement PET imaging for applications in PET/MRI. His clinical interests include pelvic floor disorders, pelvic malignancies, whole body MRI and MRI Guided procedures.
