Monther Abu-Remaileh

Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering and of Genetics
Research Interests
We study the role of the lysosome in metabolic adaptation using subcellular omics approaches, functional genomics and innovative biochemical tools. We apply this knowledge to understand how lysosomal dysfunction leads to human diseases including neurodegeneration, cancer and metabolic syndrome.

Cristina Maria Alvira

Associate Professor of Pediatrics (Critical Care)
Clinical Focus
Intensive Care, Pediatric, Pediatric Critical Care Medicine
Research Interests
The overall objective of the Alvira Laboratory is to elucidate the mechanisms that promote postnatal lung development and repair, by focusing on three main scientific goals: (i) identification of the signaling pathways that direct the transition between the saccular and alveolar stages of lung development; (ii) exploration of the interplay between postnatal vascular and alveolar development; and (iii) determination of developmentally regulated pathways that mediate lung repair after injury.
