Cell Biology and Cell Division
Research projects in cell division, chromosome evolution, and germline inheritance of centromeres.
Bacterial-Fungal Interactions in Oral Disease
Current Projects: Using nanotechnology to develop new anti-biofilm therapeutics to prevent oral diseases. Study cross-kingdom (bacterial-fungal) interactions in the development of oral disease-causing biofilms.
Wnt Signaling and Hematopoietic Stem Cells
The Klein lab studies the regulation of stem cell self-renewal in normal and malignant hematopoietic cells, Wnt signaling, and the molecular mechanisms of lithium action in the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders.
Robot-mediated Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation Robotics Lab mission is to use robotics, rehabilitation, and neuroscience techniques to translate research findings into the development of assistive and therapeutic rehabilitation robots capable of functioning in real-world rehabilitation environments.
Cancer biology: neuroblastoma
The Hogarty lab focuses on how tumor cells develop survival dependencies that keep them alive under stress, and what vulnerabilities they have that can be used to develop new therapies.
Neuropsychology and Development of Children
Dr. Hocking’s research program bridges the fields of neuropsychology, developmental, pediatric and family psychology and examines risk and resilience factors associated with the neurodevelopmental outcomes of youth diagnosed with brain tumors, solid tumors and neurofibromatosis.
How Proteins Bind and Recognize Other Proteins
The goal of my research is to gain a detailed understanding at the molecular and physical chemical level of how proteins bind and recognize other proteins, drugs, ligands and nucleic acids.
Immune Response to Bacterial Infection
We are interested in understanding how our immune system defends us against bacterial infection and how bacteria evade or manipulate the immune system to cause disease.
