Brunden Lab
Identification of therapeutic targets and treatments for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and other neurodegenerative diseases. This research encompasses target validation, in vitro assay development and optimization, high-throughput compound screening (HTS), and in vivo compound assessment, including pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic analyses, safety pharmacology and efficacy testing in neurodegenerative disease models. In addition, we conduct translational research studies to identify new potential drug targets for these neurodegenerative diseases.
Burkhardt Lab
Regulation of cytoskeletal dynamics in T cells and dendritic cells, and cytoskeletal control of the immune response
Principal Investigator: Janis K. Burkhardt, PhD
Cancro Lab
The Cancro laboratory is currently pursuing studies focused on mechanisms of B cell homeostasis and how these impact autoimmunity and aging. These have led to the characterization of a novel receptor for BLyS, a TNF family member that controls B cell numbers and determines the stringency of B cell selection.
Principal Investigator: Michael Cancro, PhD
Chen Lab
Gene therapy, autoimmune diseases, cancer, immunity, inflammation, apoptosis, and therapeutics
Principal Investigator: Youhai H. Chen, MD, PhD
Cherry Lab
The Cherry Lab is interested in emerging and globally important arthropod-borne viruses including the three major families that infect humans: the flaviviruses, alphaviruses and bunyaviruses. The Lab uses chemical and genetic screening technologies to perform a wide array of cell-based screens in human and insect cells studying emerging RNA viruses.

Deng Lab
Development and application of new technologies for spatial omics profiling at the cellular level, specifically tools at the intersection of microchip, microscopy, genomics, and computational analysis to profile genome, epigenome, transcriptome, and proteome within the spatial context of tissues and cells.
Principal Investigator: Yanxiang Deng, PhD
Doms Lab
Research in the Doms lab utilizes a wide array of cell biological, biochemical, genetic, and immunological techniques to study membrane proteins important in HIV/AIDS pathogenesis as well as relatively new research projects on Rift Valley Fever virus and other members of the bunyavirus family in which we seek to identify host cell pathways that are used by these viruses to infect cells.
