Michael Jennings, Ph.D.

I study the structure and function of membrane proteins that transport ions, with emphasis on coupled exchangers and cotransporters.  Experimental systems include red blood cells, yeast, and cultured mammalian cells,

Lu Huang, Ph.D.

My laboratory studies lung macrophages and their roles during the infection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We aim to understand the ontogeny of lung macrophages and how different metabolic pathways regulate their functions in tuberculosis. In addition, we are particularly interested in the crosstalk between cellular metabolism and epigenetic regulation in lung macrophages.

Ping-Ching Hsu, Ph.D.

Dr. Hsu’s laboratory uses population-based omics approach to address the factors that are contributing to the cancer health disparities. Her work aims to understand early prediction markers for chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity in breast cancer patients.

Abdallah Hayar, Ph.D.

Electrophysiology of olfactory bulb and cerebellar neurons – Alcohol research – Rhythmic motor movements such as licking and running – Effects of radiation on neuronal function – Imaging neuronal network – Synchronous bursting of neurons.
