Zezong Gu

Research in the Zezong Gu laboratory focuses on the studies of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and cerebral ischemia. This includes associated aging-related neurodegenerative diseases in animal models for mechanistic and translational investigations in aiding for the development of biomarkers, preventive and therapeutic strategies. The Gu laboratory uses multi‐disciplinary approaches and paradigms to conduct translational research.

Steven Van-Doren

Steven Van Doren earned a Ph.D. in Biophysics at the University of Illinois in 1991. He trained further at the University of Michigan in biophysical NMR, a computation-intensive experimental field. His laboratory strives to enrich molecular medicine with biophysical insight. His group uses NMR to characterize biomolecular recognition, especially dynamic interactions of proteins. His group

Xiu-Feng (Henry) Wan

Dr. Wan’s long-term career goals are to understand how zoonotic pathogens (especially influenza A viruses) emerge and re-emerge at the animal-human interface and to improve the effectiveness of the influenza vaccines in disease prevention and control by developing and applying systems biology based translational approaches. Translational systems biology is an integrated, multi-scale, evidence-based approach that

R. Keith Slotkin

The Slotkin laboratory uses Arabidopsis thaliana, a reference flowering plant, as a model to investigate how eukaryotic cells repress transposable elements. Transposable elements are fragments of DNA that can duplicate or move from one location to another. Their ability to replicate has resulted in transposable elements occupying vast amounts of most eukaryotic genomes, including nearly
