Heidi M. Feldman

Ballinger-Swindells Endowed Professor of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics
Clinical Focus
Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics
Research Interests
My current research program focuses on infants born preterm, before 32 weeks gestation from two language environments: English and Spanish. The study considers how neurobiological factors, specifically properties of the white matter circuits in the brain, interact with social, psychological, and economic factors to predict language processing efficiency at 18 months of age.

Brian A. Hargreaves

Professor of Radiology (Radiological Sciences Laboratory) and, by courtesy, of Electrical Engineering and of Bioengineering
Research Interests
I am interested in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) applications and augmented reality applications in medicine. These include abdominal, breast and musculoskeletal imaging, which require development of faster, quantitative, and more efficient MRI methods that provide improved diagnostic contrast compared with current methods. My work includes novel excitation schemes, efficient imaging methods and reconstruction tools and augmented reality in medicine.

Quynh-Thu Le, MD

Katharine Dexter McCormick and Stanley McCormick Memorial Professor and Professor, by courtesy, of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery (OHNS)
Clinical Focus
Cancer > Head and Neck Cancer, Cancer > Radiation Oncology, Lung Cancer - Radiation Oncology, Salivary Gland Tumors - Radiation Oncology, Head and Neck Cancers - Radiation Oncology, Larynx Cancer - Radiation Oncology, Radiation Oncology, Oral Cavity Cancer - Radiation Oncology, Sarcomas - Soft Tissue - Radiation Oncology, Skull Base Tumors - Radiation Oncology
Research Interests
My laboratory focuses on identifying pathways and biomarkers of treatment resistance in head and neck cancer using clinical samples. We explore approaches to modulate these pathways through preclinical models (cell lines, organoids, tumor bearing mice) in order to develop precise strategies against these resistant mechanisms. At the same time, we are also studying pathways involved in treatment-related toxicity and develop strategies to prevent or overcome these toxicities.

John Leppert

Professor of Urology and, by courtesy, of Nephrology
Research Interests
Our research aims to improve the global quality of care for patients with Urologic Cancer with a particular focus on kidney cancer. We are investigating novel proteomic platforms and assays to diagnose kidney cancer and predict response to therapy. We are evaluating the comparative effectiveness of various kidney cancer surgeries and their impact on chronic kidney disease and its downstream effects. We are applying epidemiology, bioinformatics, and health services methods to urologic conditions.
