SPRING 2012 SEMESTER
Faculty Sponsor   Course   Sect.   Crs &#   Research Interests
Bluestein, Danny               Biofluids and cardiovascular pathologies
Brouzes, Eric                Describe and understand  role of tissue heterogeneity in normal tissues and in onset and development of diseases like cancer
Carlson, Josh               Understanding neural mechanisms underlying salience detection within low signal-to-noise environments including subliminal processing conditions. Also examining how differences in brain activity relate to individual differences in one’s ability to detect salience
Clark, Richard               Design and development of bioactive peptides and 3-D complex extracellular matrices (ECM) that will enhance soft tissue repair and regeneration
Entcheva, Emilia               Leads pioneering work in the field of cardiac optogenetics - the use of light for the precise interrogation, stimulation and control of excitable tissue, including heart, that has been genetically altered to become light-sensitive
Frame, Molly               Integrating signal transduction events with physical properties of blood flow at the microvascular level
Hadjiargyou, Michael               Implement innovative approaches for engineering new musculoskeletal tissue utilizing knowledge derived from molecular/cellular biology and biomaterials
Judex, Stefan               Identification of precise parameters that define skeletal tissue quantity and quality and their perturbation to applied physical stimuli
Lin, Wei               Embedded system and ultrasound technologies with applications in medical instrumentation
Liu, Jonathan               Develop biomedical optical devices for diagnostics and therapy
Mujica- Parodi, Lilianne               Using a variety of methodologies, our lab focuses on relationships between four simultaneously or near-simultaneously interacting systems: neural, cardiac, endocrine, and cognitive, to better understand the neurobiology of arousal, fear, and stress
Pan, Yingtian               Current research is focused on early-stage epithelial cancer detection, diagnosis of cartilage injury and repair, and assessment of engineering tissue growth. The lab also studies skin dehydration, geriatric incontinence, fluorescence imaging and light microscopy
Qin, Yi-Xian               Physical mechanisms involved in control of tissue growth, healing, and homeostasis, especially bone adaptation and regeneration influenced by mechanical environment, as well as how these mechanisms can be used in treatment and prevention of disease and injury and bone tissue engineering
Rubin, Clinton               Understanding the cellular mechanisms responsible for the growth, healing, and homeostasis of bone
Sitharaman, Balaji               Work at the interface of bionanotechnology, regenerative and molecular medicine and synergize the advancements in each of these distinct fields to develop a dynamic research program that tackles problems related to diagnosis/ treatment of disease and tissue regeneration
Strey, Helmut               We are interested in how to tune the interactions of water-soluble building blocks so as to induce their assembly into useful microstructures much needed for the next generation of controlled drug delivery, biosensors and DNA sequencing applications
Vaska, Paul               All aspects of the physics of positron emission tomography (PET)
