The principal goal of Dr. Karen Parker's research is to better understand the biology of social functioning using an integrative, translational approach.

The Sun lab focuses on understanding the molecular mechanism of transcription factors that govern the transformation of normal mammalian cells to a neoplastic state.

Dr. Sullivan's current research interests center around the application of magnetic resonance imaging modalities and component process analysis of cognitive, sensory, and motor functions to identify brain structural and functional mechanisms disrupted in neurodegenerative conditions.

Dr. Südhof’s laboratory studies how synapses form in the brain, how their properties are specified, and how they accomplish the rapid and precise signaling that forms the basis for all information processing by the brain.

The Straight Lab's goal is to understand how chromosomes are faithfully transmitted during cell division.

Dr. Stevens's group studies the biology, immunology, epidemiology and therapy of fungal infections.

Dr. Steinman's laboratory is dedicated to understanding the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases, particularly multiple sclerosis.

Dr. Park's current research is in non-fusion dynamic spinal stabilization, artificial disc technologies, and regenerative spinal technologies.

The central question behind Dr. Stearns's work is how the centrosome and primary cilium control cell function and influence development, and how defects in these structures cause a remarkable range of human disease, ranging from cancer, polycystic kidney disease, and obesity, to neurocognitive defects including mental retardation, schizophrenia, and dyslexia.

Dr. Stafford's research aims to advance scientific understanding of the forces that influence physician and patient behavior, with a focus on evaluating and modifying physician and patient practices to improve health outcomes through prevention.
