Name of PI Rotations Available Research Description
Erhard Bieberich Rotations 3,4 Extracellular vesicles in Alzheimer's
Cheavar Blair Rotations 1,2,3 Our lab utilizes stem cell derived cardiomyocytes to understand sarcomere regulation.
Ken Campbell Rotations 1,2,3,4 Translational research that seeks better therapies for patients who have heart failure. The lab integrates biophysics, biochemistry, biobanking, and computer modeling.
Alan Daugherty Rotations 1,2,3,4 Vascular pathology with emphasis on aortic diseases and atherosclerosis
Brian Delisle Rotations 1,2,3,4 We study how environment and behavior impact cardiac physiology at the molecular, cellular, and organism level.
Gregory Frolenkov Rotations 1,2,4 Molecular mechanisms of mechanosensitivity and hearing loss.
Christopher Fry Rotations 1,2,3,4 We elucidate the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying skeletal muscle adaptation to promote tissue health and function to enhance recovery after injury and during illness.
Nate Helsley Rotations 1,2,3,4 The Helsley lab aims to identify mechanisms linking dietary nutrient metabolism to the development of obesity-associated disorders, including diabetes, liver cancer, and cardiovascular disease.
Brad Hubbard Rotations 1,2,3,4 The research interests of the Hubbard lab are understanding the pathobiology of traumatic brain injury (TBI) with a focus on blood-brain barrier and mitochondrial disease mechanisms.
Lance Johnson Rotations 1,2,3,4 We combine in vitro, in vivo, and clinical research systems to study Apolipoprotein E (APOE), the strongest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease
Shannon Macauley Rotations 1,2,3,4 The main focus of my research is to understand how metabolic dysfunction affects sleep, neuroinflammation, and vascular function in the setting of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Ultimately, the goal is to leverage these findings as therapeutic targets for treating CNS diseases.
Ila Mishra Rotations 1,2,3,4 Dr. Mishra’s research focuses on investigating the neuroendocrine regulation of metabolism. Currently, the lab is interested in discovering neural functions of novel hormone called asprosin, understanding the asprosin mediated neural signaling pathways, and the development of therapeutics for the treatment of metabolic syndrome.
Allison Owen Rotations 2,3,4 We investigate mechanisms of skeletal muscle dysfunction resultant of critical illnesses (burn trauma and sepsis), with a special interest in immunoregulatory factors.
Samir Patel Rotations 2,3,4 Characterizing rodent model of sepsis survivor following spinal trauma and targeting mitochondrial dysfunction to treat spinal injury
Hiroshi Saito Rotations 1,2,3,4 Understanding the mechanisms and developing treatments for long-term physical and cognitive dysfunction after sepsis.
Jonathan Satin Rotations 1,2,3 The Rad lab is focused on mechanisms of heart function with the long-term goal to develop the basis for new therapeutics to treat heart failure.
A. Catalina Velez-Ortega Rotations 1,2,4 Molecular machinery involved in the activity-dependent plasticity of the cytoskeleton in inner ear sensory organelles, and mechanisms of protection against noise-induced hearing loss.
