Skip to main content Research Projects Our focus is to identify mechanism(s) of autoimmunity in patient populations with diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) that will facilitate the development of therapies to prevent long-term deficits. Indeed, our work has already directly contributed to: …

The central goal of Dr. Asch's research is to uncover the mechanistic underpinnings of how stress and trauma affect brain function, with a particular emphasis on how these experiences shape mental health outcomes with the aim to contribute to the development of novel interventions designed to mitigate the harmful effects of stress and trauma, foster resilience, and ultimately improve overall health and well-being.

Skip to main content Meet the Team Image We are a multi-cultural team that delights in working together to tackle big challenges in human research. Our team is divided into three sub-teams: The Biorepository team partners with clinicians across campus to process patient samples for use in downstream …

Located in the Department of Ophthalmology, the Wert laboratory studies the post-mitotic neuronal cells of the retina, particularly the photoreceptor cells. Our goal is to discover and understand the mechanisms underlying retinal degenerative disease, and to provide novel therapeutics for these complex degenerative disorders using gene therapy and genome engineering technologies, human stem cell transplantations, and metabolic rescue.

Our laboratory is interested in improving treatment for patients with glioblastoma (GBM) and other cancers. We work on understanding signal transduction pathways involved in the pathogenesis of cancer. Recent work has focused on investigating mechanisms of resistance to targeted treatment in GBM and lung cancer. We are also interested in mechanisms regulating invasion in GBM. 

Opportunities in the Xiao-Fei Kong Research Lab

Skip to main content Biorepository Biorepository The Neuroscience Biorepository is designed to facilitate translational research by providing high-quality, deeply annotated biospecimens for laboratory and clinical research. PIs can request the recruitment of special patient populations under our exis…

Dr. Gray is overseeing one of the nation’s few facilities that manufactures a special type of gene-delivering virus for patient use.
