The Sibley lab focuses on developing and validating emerging imaging technologies to understand the lymphatic system and guide clinical management for patients with lymphatic diseases such as lymphedema.

The Zechner Lab applies molecular and cell biology techniques to investigate how mammalian cells regulate their phosphate homeostasis and sensing using the ubiquitous phosphate transporter PiT1/SLC20A1 as a model.

Learn about the Brain Health Program's research.

The central goal of our studies is to unravel the molecular and cellular mechanisms of diseases that disrupt the motor system. In exploring these diseases, we also aim to understand a fundamental question relevant to CNS disease generally: what factors determine the selective vulnerability of particular cell types or circuits to insults? Our primary focus is on Parkinson’s disease and inherited forms of dystonia. We focus our efforts on disease genes that cause these disorders, employing a range of molecular, cellular, and whole animal studies to dissect the normal role of disease proteins, and how pathogenic mutations lead to disease.
