My research is focused upon the understanding of biochemical, immunological, molecular and genetic mechanisms of various ocular diseases such as autoimmune uveitis and age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Marjan Boerma, Ph.D.
Dr. Boerma’s research is to elucidate biological mechanisms of cardiovascular injury from exposure to ionizing radiation and to identify potential methods for intervention. Her work focuses on radiation-induced heart disease as a side effect of radiation therapy to the chest and cardiovascular effects of exposure to space radiation. Her laboratory utilizes animal models of whole-body […]
Karl Boehme, Ph.D.
My laboratory studies mechanisms of reovirus pathogenesis.
Jon Blevins, Ph.D.
We study the pathogenesis of the Borrelia spirochetes that cause Lyme disease and relapsing fever.
Michael Birrer, M.D., Ph.D.
Dr. Michael Birrer will be focused on developing new types of drug models and molecular approaches to help create alternative forms of treatment for multiple types of ovarian cancers. While his primary focus will be on of ovarian cancer, he hopes his research, and ongoing clinical trials will also help in the development of new […]

Teresita Bellido, Ph.D.
Research projects in the Bellido lab center on understanding physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms that govern the function of the musculoskeletal system in health and disease, and developing genetic and pharmacological approaches to promote musculoskeletal health. Particular emphasis is placed on the role of osteocytes, the most abundant cells of bone, in driving the bone remodeling […]
