Clinical Microbiology
Development and application of advanced molecular diagnostics in the clinical laboratory, defining their clinical utility and employing them in a cost-effective manner to address current diagnostic gaps.
Genetic analysis of the role of miRNAs in plant development
The molecular mechanism and function of the juvenile-to-adult transition in plants.
Biomaterial-Driven Design Research
Architectural and Product Design at the Intersection of Engineering and Life Sciences
Exploring the physics of life
Combining the disciplines of biology and physics, with applications in biomedicine and microrobotics.
Gene Regulation in Space and Time
The Lim lab aims to characterize a quantitative range of gene expression that ensures normal development, using combination of genome editing and live imaging.
Reducing harm from injury and violence
Injury is a highly socially and structurally determined disease that can have broad impacts on individuals, families, and communities.
Neuroimaging and machine learning
The research of Huang lab focuses on developing cutting-edge neuroimaging techniques to understand structural and functional connectivity as well as quantify neural micro-structure for understanding brain development and predicting onset and progression of mental and neural disorders.
Epidemiologic modeling with machine learning and agents
We will integrate and use data from a variety of sources to develop and evaluate social network and agent-based models of health behavior and health information contagion, using readily available open-source software, and we will write and publish a scientific manuscript together, with an opportunity for authorship.
Development of intraoperative imaging agents to guide brain tumor resection.
Development of intraoperative imaging agents to guide brain tumor resection.
Wildlife Disease
Research will primarily integrate genetic and ecological approaches to study diseases of wildlife.
