The Center for Health Outcomes and Policy Research
Established in 1989 as one of the first centers to scale up rigorous research on the impact of nursing on patient outcomes, the Center uses evidence to inform policy and produces the next generation of scientists.
Autoimmunity, Vaccines, and Infection
We study how past microbial exposures influence immune responses.
Causes and Consequences of Evolution at Chromatin Proteins
The Levine Lab investigates ancient evolutionary battles that play out between our non-coding “junk” DNA and our proteins. These proteins support vital, strictly conserved functions, like the preservation of genome integrity and faithful chromosome inheritance. Yet these proteins also evolve rapidly – even very closely related species encode very diverged proteins.
Optic Neuritis
Dr. Shindler's research is examining potential mechanisms to provide neuroprotection of retinal ganglion cells in optic neuritis.
Reproduction-Specific Genes
My lab focuses on the study of meiosis and the biology of reproduction in mice.
Endoscopic Projects
Dr. Buchner’s research interests focus upon gastrointestinal disorders.
Molecular and cellular mechanisms that protect against cancer and neurodegeneration
Our current projects focus on two areas: (1) the tumor suppressor p53 and tumor cell metabolism, and (2) protein quality control (PQC) and the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases.
Brain and immune system interactions
The Alvarez lab is interested in understanding the cross-communication between the brain and immune system.
Spatial Statistics and Environmental Epidemiology
Statistical modelling, cancer, spatial epidemiology
Applied Clinical Research
Christopher B. Forrest, MD, is a pediatrician at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and an academic investigator in applied clinical research (i.e., science that can have an immediate impact on clinical care).
