Shirit Einav

Professor of Medicine (Infectious Diseases) and of Microbiology and Immunology
Clinical Focus
Infectious Disease
Research Interests
Our basic research program focuses on understanding the roles of virus-host interactions in viral infection and disease pathogenesis via molecular and systems virology single cell approaches. This program is combined with translational efforts to apply this knowledge for the development of broad-spectrum host-centered antiviral approaches to combat emerging viral infections, including dengue, coronaviruses, encephalitic alphaviruses, and Ebola, and means to predict progression to severe disease.

Clinical Professor, Pediatrics - Infectious Diseases
Clinical Focus
Infectious Diseases, Pediatric, Pediatric Infectious Diseases
Research Interests
The focus of my laboratory is the immune response to viral vaccines evaluating the ontogeny of responses in infants and limitations in immunocompromised hosts. We have studied responses to an early two-dose measles immunization, one versus 2 doses of varicella immunization, and polio vaccine in preterm versus term infants. Other active areas of research include measles and varicella immunity in HIV infected individuals, and transplant recipients.

Michael Ma

Assistant Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery (Pediatric Cardiac Surgery)
Clinical Focus
Neonatal Cardiac Surgery, Pediatric Cardiac Surgery, Thoracic and Cardiac Surgery
Research Interests
Our lab aims to understand the biomechanics that govern a wide spectrum of congenital heart defects, and how those biomechanics change with contemporary operative repair strategies. We simulate operations virtually via CFD, and in ex vivo and in vivo animal models, and analyze how the changes we make alter fluid flow, pressure, and stresses throughout the system. We hope that these experiments can impact and optimize existing techniques that translate quickly to the operating room.
