MUDIA Lab is focused on developing novel quantitative MRI techniques and analysis methods on CNS and musculoskeletal system. 

Our research focuses on developing and testing novel immunotherapies for meningiomas (the most common brain tumors in adults) as well as on understanding the tumor immune microenvironment of meningiomas and other skull base tumors.

Qi lab specializes in investigating the structure and function of membrane proteins related to human diseases using cryo-EM, cell-based assays, and mouse models.

Skip to main content Photo Gallery Expression of NY-ESO-1, a cancer testis antigen, in various grades of human meningioma samples obtained from the operating room. NY-ESO-1 is a potential target of immunotherapy for meningiomas.

We anticipate this work to enhance functional recovery and improve the quality of life for trauma patients, while advancing our understanding of HO pathogenesis and normal tissue response to radiation.

Recent work from our laboratory and others has demonstrated that radiation effectively modifies the microenvironmental metabolism, subsequently influencing DNA damage repair responses.
