Dr. Laura James is Principal Investigator for the Pediatric Pharmacology Research Unit at Arkansas Children’s Hospital. Her research emphasis in the basic sciences is in understanding mechanisms of repair for hepatotoxins (acetaminophen, chloroform) in the mouse model. She is also interested in the detection of biomarkers of acetaminophen toxicity (acetaminophen protein adducts) in clinical samples and their […]

Ethanol regulation of neuroimmune mechanisms in the brain. Role of TRPC channels in seizure generation, epilepsy and stroke.
Angela Odle, Ph.D.
Dr. Odle’s research is centered at the intersection of reproduction and metabolism, specifically at the level of the pituitary. The lab is particularly interested in how the metabolic hormone leptin influences the development and function of the gonadotropes (LH- and FSH- secreting cells) in females. Using a combination of transgenic models and molecular techniques, Dr. […]
G. Andrew James, Ph.D.
By understanding how the healthy brain encodes cognition, Dr. James seeks to translate this technology into patient care and better inform clinical decision-making. Dr. James believes that understanding individual differences in the neural encoding of traits such as craving, impulsivity, and working memory are crucial for understanding how these brain-behavior relationships are disrupted with addiction.

Research areas of interest and expertise include: regenerative medicine, anterior cruciate ligament, articular cartilage, molecular imaging, mesenchymal stem cell, gene therapy, chondrocytes, cartilage repair, and preclinical models.
Ha-Neui Kim, Ph.D.
Dr. Kim has worked on several projects investigating age-related bone loss. He also discovered that anti-aging FoxO transcription factors restrain osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption by attenuating H2O2 accumulation. His recent work led to the seminal finding that cellular senescence of osteoprogenitors and osteocytes causes age-related bone loss. The skills and knowledge were acquired during his […]
