The lab studies the role of DNases in tissue injury and cell death.
Steve W. Barger, Ph.D.
My lab is focused on Alzheimer’s disease. Current research is examining the role of diabetes-related disruptions in glucose metabolism and the impact this has on brain function. Evidence indicates that both Alzheimer’s and diabetes involve processes connected to inflammation, which has been another of my longstanding areas of research.
Giulia Baldini, M.D., Ph.D.
My research focuses on Melanocortin-4 receptor, a G-protein coupled receptor involved in appetite control.
Ahmad Baghal, MD., Ph.D.
Research interested include: Clinical informatics, clinical research informatics, clinical knowledge management, and machine learning.
Nukhet Aykin-Burns, Ph.D.
My primary interests concern the effects of environmental toxins, such as lead and PCBs, on oxidative stress and the effects of mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress on radiation-induced normal tissue damage (especially skin and liver).

Maria Schuller de Almeida, Ph.D.
The overall goal of my research is to elucidate the role of stress-induced molecular pathways on the skeletal effects of sex steroid deficiency and old age. Our work combines the use of genetic and pharmacological approaches in mice, with biochemical and molecular testing in cultured bone cells, to discover critical pathophysiological mechanisms and potential anti-osteoporotic […]

Our research investigates the effects of nutrition, body composition and physical activity on growth and metabolism of infants and children. Our multi-disciplinary group addresses complex questions regarding the interaction of these variables while considering multiple facets of child development. Major research projects currently investigate the consequences of prenatal environment and early infant feeding. Other projects […]
