The Sinclair group utilizes high resolution transmission electron microscopy to characterize the structure of important engineering materials at the nanoscale.

Dr. Shah’s lab focuses on understanding how the brain is developmentally wired to be different between the sexes, and how these sexually differentiated neural circuits mediate social behaviors.

Dr. Welander is a microbiologist with interests in understanding the biosynthesis and physiological function of “molecular fossils” or biomarkers in extant bacteria.

The Li lab uses chemical biology to uncover biochemical mechanisms in innate immunity and, in parallel, develop therapeutic hypotheses and lead compounds.

Dr. De Leo is a theoretical ecologist by formation, generally interested in investigating factors and processes driving the dynamics of natural and harvested populations and in understanding how to use this knowledge to inform practical management.

Dr. Sun's laboratory's interests focus on the role inositol signaling plays in development and disease.

The ultimate goal of Dr. Yang Hu's laboratory is to develop efficient therapeutic strategies to achieve CNS neural repair, through promoting neuroprotection, axon regeneration and functional recovery.

Specifically, they are using state-of-the-art tools and creating novel tools to study retinal ganglion cell (RGC) and optic nerve in various optic neuropathies including traumatic, glaucomatous and inflammatory optic nerve injuries, to fully understand the molecular mechanisms of CNS neurodegeneration and axon regeneration failure.

Dr. Gentles's lab is interested in computational systems biology, primarily in cancer. They develop and apply methods to understand biological processes underlying disease, using high-throughput genomic and proteomic datasets and integrating them with phenotypes and clinical outcomes.

Dr. Hosseini is a computational/cognitive neuroscientist investigating large-scale structural and functional brain networks in various neuropsychiatric disorders using multimodal neuroimaging, graph theoretical and multivariate pattern analyses techniques.

Dr. Dunn's research interests include intestinal lengthening for short bowel syndrome, intestinal stem cell therapy for intestinal failure, skin derived precursor cell therapy for enteric neuromuscular dysfunction, and intestinal tissue engineering.
