Satterthwaite Lab studies the signals that control B lymphocyte development, activation, and differentiation into antibody-secreting plasma cells, both normally and in autoimmune diseases such as lupus. We hope that by defining these events, we can reveal new approaches to modulate antibody responses therapeutically.
The Saunders Lab aims to advance our understanding of the bacterial domain of life using high throughput genetics to map the molecular interactions that underly cellular physiology.
The Saxena lab's research interests include Icodextin in high peritoneal transporters; Kremezin study in patients with chronic kidney disease; SV40 in focal segmental glomerulosclerosis; molecular studies in lupus nephritis.
The main focus in our laboratory is the identification and physiological characterization of adipocyte-specific gene products and the elucidation of pathways that are an integral part of the complex set of reactions that drive adipogenesis.
The Schoggins Lab studies innate immunity at the virus-host interface. We are interested in mechanisms of cellular antiviral defense and the role these responses play during viral disease.
The Sguigna lab investigates the visual system in multiple sclerosis, and other neurological conditions, with the intent of leveraging technologies to further science both diagnostically and therapeutically.
We aim to characterize the ways in which reward systems vary from individual to individual and understand how this variation determines propensity for depression and addiction-like behavior.
The Shahmoradian lab investigates the roles of domain-specific neuronal proteins using advanced cryo-imaging techniques to understand their impact on cellular dynamics and neurological health.
The Sharma lab is interested in investigating intermediary metabolism utilizing carbon-13 stable isotope tracers in conjunction with magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and mass spectrometry (MS).
Our laboratory’s focus is to understand the intrinsic roles of lysosomes and their regulatory functions in cellular and organismal homeostasis, with the ultimate goal of identifying novel therapeutic targets for a wide range of disease conditions.
We aim to globally understand how the physical and chemical properties of materials affect interactions with biological systems in the context of improving therapies.
The Smith Lab strives to develop enabling tools for organic synthesis, allowing bioactive molecules of great complexity to be prepared in a concise and sustainable fashion.
The Solmonson lab is interested in how the placenta senses and achieves metabolic homeostasis between the adult and fetal compartments during pregnancy.
Dr. Song's laboratory focuses on understanding the mechanisms of cell death, including apoptosis, ferroptosis, pH-dependent cell death, and immunogenic cell death.
The Sorrell laboratory utilizes integrative approaches that include metabolomics, transcriptomics, organoid cultures, live microcopy, and animal models, to investigate fundamental pathways that control the uptake of nutrients and the biosynthesis of macromolecules in proliferative cells.
