Dr. Sergiu Pasca's lab employs state-of-the-art stem cell biology, genome engineering, imaging and neuroscience approaches to identify the dynamical processes that go awry in neural cells derived from patients with neuropsychiatric disorders, such as autism or schizophrenia, and what should be therapeutically targeted in these conditions.
Dr. Delp's work draws on computational mechanics, medical imaging, and neuromuscular biology to improve treatments for neurologic and musculoskeletal diseases.
Dr. Napel's primary interests are in developing diagnostic and therapy-planning applications and strategies for the acquisition and visualization of multi-dimensional medical imaging data.
A pioneer in the use of lasers to study chemical reactions at the molecular level, Dr. Zare pursues diverse theoretical and experimental interests in physical chemistry and nanoscale chemical analysis.
Dr. Yock is the founder and director of the Byers Center for Biodesign, a multidisciplinary training and support program for physicians and engineers with the ambition and talent to become health technology innovators.
Dr. Abilez's research interests include bioengineering, biophysical control of cardiovascular development, pluripotent stem cell biology, optogenetics, electrophysiology, cell mechanics, directed cellular evolution, multiscale engineering, microfluidics, and computational biology.
Dr. Levitt uses both molecular dynamics simulation and molecular modeling in the hopes of understanding the molecular structure and function of proteins and nucleic acids in enough detail to make accurate predictions about structure and function.
The long-term goal of the Schnitzer lab's research is to advance experimental paradigms for understanding normal cognitive and disease processes at the level of neural circuits, with emphasis on learning and memory processes.
