Our research endeavors are dedicated to pioneering the development of virtual reality simulators tailored for surgical training, harnessing the power of cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, automated systems, and advanced deep learning algorithms. Central to our work is the creation of AI-driven solutions for automated surgical video segmentation, precise identification of anatomical structures, surgical tool recognition, and comprehensive skills assessment.

The Osborne Lab focuses on how regulation of miRNA and mRNA controls the branching of developing cells, and how disregulation of these pathways contributes to aggressive tumor behavior.

Huen Lab studies how metabolic adaption promotes survival during sepsis and how the kidneys contribute to systemic metabolism during inflammation.

Goldsmith Lab combines drug discovery and mechanistic analysis to understanding protein kinases. 

The Pan laboratory uses Drosophila and mice as model systems to investigate size-control mechanisms in normal development and their pathological roles in cancer.

Our group initially investigated a novel immune checkpoint inhibitor targeting a rare heparan sulfate (rHS) in melanoma treatment. Collaboratively, we explored the potential of a single-domain humanized rHS antibody (1A7 clone) that inhibits DC-HIL function and also angiogenesis and chemokine effects linked to diverse cancer progression signaling pathways. This experience provided insights into rHS-targeting as a promising approach to melanoma therapy.
