Molecular Imaging and Targeted Therapeutics
Dr. Andrew Tsourkas's research is focused on developing novel molecular imaging agents and targeted therapeutics.
Optical probe development, optical spectroscopy, imaging
Our group works at the intersection of synthetic chemistry and optical spectroscopy, developing molecular probes for quantitative biomedical imaging.
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.
Bacterial Pathogenesis
Apply genetic, genomics, and biochemical approaches to study bacterial pathogenesis.
Gravitational lensing and the outer solar system
Professor Bernstein's research is focused on the use of gravitational lensing, the deflection of light by gravity as predicted by General Relativity. Another area of research is discovery of planets beyond Neptune in our own solar system. Student projects will typically involve analyses of sky survey images using Python or other numerical methods. Professor Bernstein will be on sabbatical (and not advising new undergraduates) until Fall 2025.
