Learn more about the Wise-Rios Lab.

Our laboratory is focused on the molecular control of lipid metabolism, particularly in the intestinal tract. We employ a variety of disciplines including molecular and cell biology, mouse models and organoid technologies. 

The Whitehurst Lab uses RNAi-based functional genomics to identify gene products that support viability and/or modulate chemotherapeutic sensitivity in tumor cells. 

The Florian-Rodriguez Lab investigates the cellular and molecular mechanisms of pelvic organ prolapse.

My research interests include prevention of progression of renal diseases, diagnoses, and management of lipid disorders in renal disease, hypertensive nephrosclerosis, the role of angiotensin II converting enzyme inhibitors, and angiotensin II receptor blockers in renal disease. 

Meet Dr. Ren's Lab team!

Dr. Garg's research focuses on diabetes, insulin resistance, and disorders of adipose tissue.

We study bacterial colonization of the intestinal tract, to understand how both benign and pathological bacteria affect their environment. Our long-term goal is to treat intestinal diseases by genetically engineering bacteria in vivo.
