参与研究
The below laboratories are currently accepting undergraduate and graduate students.
Becker Lab
The Becker lab focuses on the role of cell signaling proteins in the osteoblast and the impact of peripheral nerve injury on bone formation. The overall goal of this research is to identify new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of osteoporosis and prevention of morbidity and mortality associated with fracture.
Burman Lab
The Burman Lab investigates the effects of early life stress and pain on subsequent anxiety and pain susceptibility and related changes to brain function in a rodent model. 他们关注的是杏仁核, 海马体, 下丘脑, and prefrontal cortex using a variety of modern behavioral, 药理, and molecular techniques from psychology and biology.
Can We Reduce the Effects of Neonatal Trauma on the Brain?
Cao Lab
The Cao Lab studies neuroimmune mechanisms in nerve injury-induced neuropathic pain and nerve regeneration, as well as neuroimmune mechanisms in HIV-associated peripheral neuropathy, and neuroimmune mechanisms in HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HANDs). Dr. Cao also has ongoing clinical projects for medical students, which are in collaboration with the Mercy Pain Center.
Ganter Lab
Goode Lab
Dr. Goode's lab studies at mitochondrial function and neuro-immune interactions in post-herpetic neuralgia.
哈里森实验室
Houseknecht实验室
Dr. Houseknecht has expertise in the pharmacology of G-protein coupled receptors and phosphdiesterases. She is interested in novel drug discovery for the treatment of diseases associated with metabolic syndrome, psychosis, 忽视疾病.
King Lab
Meng Lab
Current Meng Lab research is primarily focused on chronic dry eye syndrome.
Developing More Effective Treatments for Corneal Pain
Molliver实验室
Dr. Molliver’s research is focused on intracellular signaling mechanisms regulating the functional plasticity of sensory neurons in chronic pain states.
Rosene Lab
Currently, his research investigates head impacts and their possible connection to concussions in athletics, and potential interventions to reduce these injuries.
鲁道夫实验室
Her research interests focus on the neuromuscular control of locomotion with studies concerning patients with ACL deficiency and knee 骨关节炎. She has expertise in rehabilitation research and motor control.
塔克豪斯实验室
Dr. Stackhouse’s current research is looking at the neuromodulation of the pain system in chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
史蒂文森实验室
The research done in his lab focuses on the development of pain and addiction. Dr. Stevenson has expertise in behavioral pharmacology, drug abuse, and drug interactions.
Tucker Lab
His laboratory investigates the signal transduction pathways of the primary cilia, a small antenna-like appendage protruding from the cell surface of almost all cells in the body.
