Derek Pociask, PhD, School of Medicine Lab Description Our lab is focused on immune responses in the lung during viral infections. We are particularly interested in how the immune system promotes specific epithelial cell types to help repair the lung after infection. We have a mix of undergraduate and graduate students and collaborate with PhD […]

Anil Mishra, PhD, School of Medicine Lab Description Dr. Mishra’s most important contribution was to establish that eosinophils are the resident cell that home prenatally in the gastrointestinal tract (Mishra et al. J. Clin. Invest. 1999, 103, 1719-27) and the gastrointestinal tract (esophagus to colon) constitutively expresses eotaxin-1(an eosinophil selective chemoattractant). Dr. Mishra developed a […]

Joseph A. Lasky, MD, School of Medicine Lab Description Dr. Lasky’s main clinical and research interest is the study of pulmonary fibrosis (lung scarring). Dr. Lasky is an author on over 125 publications pertaining to pulmonary fibrosis, which span basic molecular science to clinical trials. He has been engaged in designing, conducting, and monitoring clinical […]

Vecihi Batuman, MD, FASN, School of Medicine Lab Description His current laboratory research focuses on myeloma light chain metabolism and toxicity in kidney cells, endocytic receptors that mediate endocytosis and metabolism of filtered myeloma proteins in the kidney and the role of cytokines and transcription factors in the pathogenesis of kidney disease in myeloma. Dr. […]

Bridgette Collins-Burow, MD, PhD, School of Medicine Lab Description Dr. Collins-Burow’s research program combines investigator initiated proof-of principle clinical trials with solid basic-translational bench research. Dr. Collins-Burow’s research focuses on the role of novel experimental agents and epigenetic therapy in the regulation of microRNA expression in breast cancer with specific interest in triple-negative or basal […]

Matthew E. Burow, PhD, School of Medicine Lab Description Dr. Burow’s primary research interests focus on understanding the molecular mechanisms that control estrogen receptor mediated gene expression and anti-estrogen resistance in breast carcinoma cells and the way that cell survival and apoptotic signaling pathways regulate the progression of breast carcinoma to a hormone independent and […]
