Professor Michael Plesniak's Biofluid Dynamics Lab conducts advanced fundamental research on human speech production (phonation) and cardiovascular flows.
Professor Murray Loew's Laboratory for Medical Imaging and Image Analysis develops new methods for acquiring”and extracting useful information from”medical images.
The lab conducts advanced fundamental and applied research in plasma medicine, micropropulsion for micro and nanosatellites, and plasma nanoscience and nanotechnology.
Research areas include high throughput and ultrasensitive methods in systems biology, proteomics and metabolomics, new methods for molecular imaging of biological tissues, and single cell and subcellular analysis.
Dr. Massiah's lab employs multi-dimensional Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and other biophysical techniques to characterize the structures of proteins, and to probe the protein-drug and protein-protein interactions.
Her current projects include assessments of personality, temperament, and genetic makeup, as well as parenting behaviors and conflict between caregivers.
My research has focused on the pathological significance of the impaired gut-fat axis in IBD. Using mouse models, human organoids, and adipose stem cell cultures, I have been investigating the molecular “crosstalk” between mesenteric fat and intestinal inflammation in IBD.
Current projects include application of ultrasound to enhance ocular drug delivery, focused ultrasound treatment of tumors, studies of safety of therapeutic ultrasound applications, and ultrasound application for functional modification of cells such as pancreatic beta cells.
Dr. Robien's group is currently studying the extent to which dietary exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals (especially bisphenols and phthalates) is associated with doxorubicin resistance among women with triple negative breast cancer, as well as the effect of body composition (lean body mass…
His research interests include the design, monitoring, analyses, and reporting of clinical trials.
