Dr. Scott Owen's lab studies how neuromodulation can shape the activity of targeted cell types and circuits to guide behavior. Their goal is to understand how specialized physiology, connectivity, and cell-signaling support the diverse functions of individual neuronal cell types. How can a deeper understanding of these features guide future therapeutic interventions for neurological diseases including Autism, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and Parkinson’s Disease?
Dr. Zachary Sellers is a pediatric physician-scientist striving to advance cystic fibrosis clinical care and translational research. Clinically, Dr. Sellers is focused on gastrointestinal manifestations of cystic fibrosis, developing diagnostic and therapeutic modalities to improve the gastrointestinal and liver health of those with cystic fibrosis. He also specializes in the clinical management of pediatric pancreatitis and am involved with the international INSPPIRE consortium to study pediatric pancreatitis.
Dr. Kenneth Weinberg's laboratory's efforts are aimed at understanding the reciprocal interactions between immature T lymphocytes (“thymocytes”) and thymic epithelial cells, the stromal cells of the thymus which support T lymphocyte development. Such interactions are abnormal in both genetic diseases of children like severe combined immune deficiency (SCID) and the DiGeorge syndrome, and in aging and autoimmune diseases.
