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.

At the Fu Lab of human neuroscience we investigate the neural bases of cognitive control.

We investigate how the immune system and gut microbiota influence brain function and behavior. We use molecular, behavioral, anatomical, and immunological approaches in the lab. In parallel, we collaborate with clinical groups to examine the role of inflammatory and gut-brain mediators in psychiatric illness.The Foster Lab research program represents a “best in class” translational research approach in an enriched, multidisciplinary environment. Foster's academic activities include a strong translational research program, a comprehensive teaching portfolio, science outreach, contribution to local, national, and international peer review and knowledge translation.

The Parkland Outcomes after Prematurity Study research group focuses on the short- and long-term effects of preterm birth, to improve lifelong health outcomes for current and future patients.

We are interested in the circuit mechanisms of how the cerebellum helps the brain to work better in health and disease.
