Katrin Andreasson

Edward F. and Irene Thiele Pimley Professor of Neurology and Neurological Sciences
Research Interests
Our research focuses on understanding how immune responses initiate and accelerate synaptic and neuronal injury in age-related neurodegeneration, including models of Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. We also focus on the role of immune responses in aggravating brain injury in models of stroke. Our goal is the identification of critical immune pathways that function in neurologic disorders and that can be targeted to elicit disease modifying effects.

Matthew Bogyo

Professor of Pathology and of Microbiology and Immunology and, by courtesy, of Chemical and Systems Biology
Research Interests
Our lab uses chemical, biochemical, and cell biological methods to study protease function in human disease. Projects include:

1) Design and synthesis of novel chemical probes for serine and cysteine hydrolases.

2) Understanding the role of hydrolases in bacterial pathogenesis and the human parasites, Plasmodium falciparum and Toxoplasma gondii.

3) Defining the specific functional roles of proteases during the process of tumorogenesis.

4) In vivo imaging of protease activity

Karl Deisseroth

D. H. Chen Professor, Professor of Bioengineering and of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
Clinical Focus
Psychiatry
Research Interests
Karl Deisseroth's laboratory created and developed optogenetics, hydrogel-tissue chemistry (beginning with CLARITY), and a broad range of enabling methods. He also has employed his technologies to discover the neural cell types and connections that cause adaptive and maladaptive behaviors.

Rona Giffard

Professor of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine, Emerita
Research Interests
Astrocytes, microglia and neurons interact, and have unique vulnerabilities to injury based on their patterns of gene expression and their functional roles. We focus on the cellular and molecular basis of brain cell injury in stroke. We study the effects of altering miRNA expression, altering levels of heat shock and cell death regulatory proteins. Our goal is to improve outcome by improving mitochondrial function and brain cell survival, and reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.
