Androwis,Ghaith |
|
Astrof, Sophie |
|
Benevenia, Joseph |
I have clinical expertise and perform investigations in the field of limb preservation. Specifically, my lab studies allografts and endoprosthetic reconstructions to treat musculoskeletal tumors. |
Berlin, Joshua |
P-type active ion transporters: ion transport mechanism and roles in disease processes. Cellular mechanisms underlying acute traumatic brain injury. |
Chiaravalotti, Nancy |
|
Chu, Alice |
Her specialty interests include pediatric upper extremity disorders and more specifically, conditions such as arthrogryposis, brachial plexus injury and cerebral palsy. |
Citron, Bruce |
|
Cugini, Carla |
Molecular mechanisms that govern the in vivo inter- and intra-species interactions within the oral cavity and impact on the host response. |
Daneault, Jean-Francois |
His research focuses on better understanding motor behavior in health and disease using technology in order to improve/optimize movements of individuals with chronic diseases, such as Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, dystonia, cerebral palsy, and stroke, through physical therapy and exercise. |
Del Re, Dominic |
Novel signaling pathways mediating heart injury following ischemic stress. HIPPO signaling in multiple cardiac cell types. |
Fluet, Gerard |
I have studied upper extremity rehabilitation interventions in persons with hemiparesis for the past 10 years. Our lab has produced several systems utilizing haptically rendered virtual environments that present intensive motor training interventions designed to normalize arm and hand function. We have designed and tested lab-based, hospital based and now home based equipment. |
Freundlich, Joel |
We study with chemical tools how pathogens, such as M. tuberculosis, adapt to life within the host and, in turn, how the host responds to the infection. |
Gohel, Suril |
The neuroinformatics lab at Rutgers focuses on understanding human brain function during resting state and in task conditions, and how that is disrupted by cognitive challenges and in neuro-clinical populations. Specifically, we use multiband, neuroimaging data to understand and quantify frequency-specific changes in functional brain integration. |
Guarrera, James |
I am an active clinical transplant surgeon with extensive experience in abdominal organ transplantation. I am recognized for my novel contributions to the field of organ preservation and liver machine perfusion. In addition I direct a lab effort focusing on molecular investigation of transplant ischemia/reperfusion injury. |
Gunal, Ozlem |
Molecular mechanisms affecting neuronal function and plasticity in rodent models of neuropsychiatric disorders, including autism, intellectual disability, and addiction behavior. |
Handiru, Vikram Shenoy |
|
Howell, Roger |
Dr. Howell explores an expanded therapeutic role for radium-223 and alpha particle emitting radionuclides in general. Our proposed studies are in direct response to recent statements that the potential role of bystander effects in radionuclide therapies is underexplored. |
Kannurpatti, Sridhar |
Biomedical and functional imaging in physiology and disease. Specializes in the development and application of multi-modal structural and functional imaging of the brain in vivo in combination with preclinical behavioral, histochemical and neurochemical approaches. |
Lemenze, Alex |
|
Levison, Steven |
We are working to enhance regeneration of the CNS after pediatric stroke and traumatic injuries by understanding how to expand resident neural stem cells and coordinate a regenerative response to injury. |
Lin, Sheldon |
Our lab, Ortho bone regeneration medicine, focuses on stem cell, growth factor and systems in several models (long bone, fracture, fusion) of normal/impaired DM. |
Liu, Dongfang |
Immunobiology of NK and CTLs, with a focus on chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) cells, CAR immunotherapy, and HIV-specific CTLs in chronic HIV and its related malignancies |
Merians, Alma |
|
Mitrofanova, Antonina |
My laboratory develops computational algorithms to elucidate genomic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic mechanisms of therapeutic resistance in oncology and to identify optimal treatment strategies for cancer patients. Our goal is to build a panel of markers to predict patients at risk of treatment resistance, with further advice on their optimal therapeutic course. |
Nolan, Karen |
Dr. Nolan specializes in the study of new technologies with potential applications in rehabilitation research for deficits in gait and balance that impair mobility. |
O'Connor, James |
We study how inflammation and the innate immune response regulate tissue regeneration with a particular emphasis on lipid mediators and bone regeneration. |
Patel, Jigna |
|
Petrou, Vasileios |
Structural studies of membrane enzymes and receptors relevant to antibiotic resistance or human physiology and pathology using single-particle cryo-electron microscopy. |
Qiu, Qinyan |
|
Rameshwar, Pranela |
The lab studies hematopoietic stem cell, cancer stem cell and mesenchymal stem cells. Research studies are conducted for breast cancer and glioblastoma. |
Rohacs, Tibor |
Regulation of ion channels in sensory neurons: temperature sensors and nociceptors. Structure and function studies on TRPV6, an intestinal calcium transporting. |
Saleh, Soha |
Dr. Saleh studies underlying mechanisms of neuromuscular function, specifically neural networks involved in motor learning and control, and neuroplasticity after injury and in response to rehabilitation interventions. |
Shimizu, Emi |
Effect of diabetes on dental stem cell machinery to heal tooth injury. Tooth regeneration using iPS cells or oral mucosa stem cells. |
Tyagi, Sanjay |
We study the intracellular dynamics of mRNA synthesis and localization. |
Wages, Nathan |
|
Yang, Jason |
Systems and syntheteic biology of chronic and infectious disease. Computational modeling, machine learning, quantitative microscopy, genetic engineering |
Zeni, Joseph |
His research focuses on improving the quality of life for patients with arthritis of the hip and knee joints. Specifically, Dr. Zeni is investigating ways to restore normal movement patterns after hip and knee replacement. He has a particular interest in developing methods to work with patients outside of the laboratory or clinical setting. |
