Research InterestDr. Bejerano, co-discoverer of ultraconserved elements, studies the Human Genome. Through computation and experimentation we investigate the Systems Biology parts-list of many thousands genomic regions involved in gene transcription regulation during embryonic development. Major interests include (1) the origins and evolution of these regions, (2) how they encode their individual as well as combined roles, (3) their contribute to human disease, and (4) their contribute to species adaptation.

- Pediatrics
- Health Service Area
Research InterestMy research has involved the use of new technologies to create different types of patient-doctor transactions. I am also interested in how these new transactions impact clinical care processes. Current work includes the evaluation of a patient portal for children with cystic fibrosis, the use of telemedicine to bring asthma experts into the schools and the attitudes of teens and parents about the use of a secure patient portal for teens.

Clinical Focus- Autism
- Developmental Disorders
- Cardiovascular Genetics
Research InterestI am interested in the genetics of autism spectrum and other developmental disorders. In collaboration with the laboratories of Dr. Ricardo Dolmetsch and Joachim Hallmayer I am working to develop induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) models of genetic disorders associated with autism and developmental disability.

Member, Child Health Research Institute
Clinical Focus- Nephrology
- Nephrology (Kidney)
- Diabtetic Kidney Disease
Research InterestDr. Bhalla's research interests are in the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease and salt-sensitive hypertension. Using molecular and transgenic approaches, the laboratory is interested in elucidating regulators of oxidative and carbonyl stress in glomeruli. We interface these studies with collaborative projects on biomarkers for human diabetic nephropathy. The laboratory also focuses on molecular mechanisms of insulin and aldosterone-induced sodium transport in the distal nephron.

Member, Child Health Research Institute
Clinical Focus- Infectious Disease
Research InterestThe major goal of our research is to gain insight into the prevention and control of HIV and other viral pathogens by studying the interplay between the virus and the host immune response. We investigate the role of various arms of the immune response, but with a particular focus on NK cells. We hope to gain additional insights into control of infectious diseases by studying how pregnancy modulates immune responses.

Academic Appointments Assistant Professor - Med Center Line, Psychiatry & Behavioral Science - Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
Clinical Focus- Psychology
Research InterestMy research interests have focused on the neural bases of eating disorders and obesity. I am particularly interested in the way emotion and reward is processed in the brain and how that may contribute to eating behavior and food restriction. I hope to eventually translate biological research findings into treatments.

Research InterestOur research is focused on the role of extracellular matrix (ECM) in inflammation and infection. In particular, we study how the ECM in injured and healing tissues provides contextual cues that drive the behavior of regulatory T-cells and other leukocytes. Our goals are 1. to understand how the matrix contributes both to normal wound healing and to immune dysregulation, such as that seen in asthma and autoimmunity, and 2. to devise novel strategies and tools to promote immune tolerance.

Research InterestWe are intereseted in the interaction between the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii and its mammalian host. We use a combination of molecular and genetic tools to understand how this obligate intracellular parasite can invade almost any cell it encounters, how it co-opts a host cell once inside and how it evades the immune response to produce a life-long, persistent infection.

Clinical Focus- Hematopathology
Research InterestThe lymphocytes of the human immune system share some biological properties with human cancers: in each case, there are subpopulations of cells whose genomes are rearranged and mutated compared to other cells in the body. Our goal is to understand the genotype-phenotype relationships in lymphoid cells that determine the behavior of human diseases. We apply new analytical methods, particularly high-throughput DNA sequencing, in parallel with functional assays, to tackle this challenge.

- Pediatric Allergy/Immun
Research InterestOur laboratory's goal is to address fundamental and therapeutic questions in immunology using innovative nanotechnological and biophysical approaches to visualize and manipulate cells. Our primary focus is on understanding the molecular controls that balance T cell activation versus tolerance. The ultimate aim of our work is to manipulate T cell signaling pathways to control immunologically-mediated diseases.
