Computational approaches in human genetics
Human genetics as an approach to understand the etiology of complex disease and to identify therapeutic targets.
Hematology Disorders
Dr. Cuker’s research interests include heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, immune thrombocytopenia, thrombosis, anticoagulation, and platelet disorders.
Nanoparticle Contrast Agents & Medical Imaging
Dr. Cormode's research focuses on the development of novel and multifunctional nanoparticle contrast agents for medical imaging applications.
An integrated approach to predict and improve the outcomes of lung injury
Our long term goal is to attenuate the mechanisms leading to severe respiratory failure: we develop methods to predict the progression of acute lung injury and strategies to contain it, improving survival.
Circulating Tumor Cells and Cancer
The Circulating Tumor Material (CTM) Center, focuses on the identification, capture, and analysis of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) and cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from cancer patients.
Translational Research in Cutaneous Autoimmune Diseases
Dr. Werth’s research interests include photobiology, tumor necrosis factor, cutaneous lupus, glycosaminoglycans and clinical and translational research in cutaneous autoimmune diseases.
Biomedical Optics and Soft Matter Experimental Lab
Work on projects in either biomedical optics that employ light to measure physiological properties of tissues, or soft condensed matter physics that explore the behaviors of complex fluids such as colloids, liquid crystals, emulsions, drops and more.
Bacterial Pathogenesis and Host-Microbiome Interaction
Apply genetic, genomics, and biochemical approaches to study bacterial pathogenesis and how pathogens interact with host gut microbiome.
Memory and Preference
Work on a project that inolves judgment and decision making, plus computational and mathematical modeling of cognition.
Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms of Lung Disease
Our group is dedicated to understanding cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the critical role played by the distal lung epithelium in health and in driving the pathogenesis of lung diseases.
