The Biostatistics Laboratory (located within the Department of Public Health Sciences) consists of a group of statisticians, data scientists, and research professional whose primary focus is on applied and collaborative work.
At the Center for Early Childhood Research we are interested in understanding how infants and children learn and develop.
Research at the Center for the Economics of Human Development is guided by questions about the factors that contribute to inequality, disparate life outcomes, and interventions that can help alleviate such social problems.
Center for EPR Imaging in Vivo Physiology
We study the development, function and evolution of somatosensory and motor systems using insect larvae as models.
P.I. willing to mentor undergraduate research volunteers work study students, and students requring pay interested in Biomedical acoustics.
The focus of the Biomedical Acoustics Development and Engineering Research Laboratory (BADER Lab) is the translation of therapeutic ultrasound for non- or minimally invasive treatment of cardiovascular and cancerous disease. Specifically, we utilize acoustic cavitation for combinatorial ablation and enhanced drug delivery treatment strategies of pathologies resistant to standard interventional techniques. To assess bubble activity and the resultant changes in tissue structure, we are developing multi-modal imaging approaches via diagnostic ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging. Analytic and numerical bubble dynamics models are also utilized to gain insight into the mechanism of action of our therapeutic approaches. Current research topics include:

PI looking for undergraduate research volunteers. My lab is a highly collaborative and interdisciplinary lab that combines the physical sciences, engineering, and surgery. We study aortic pathologies, stability and failure of endovascular repairs, stress focusing phenomena induced by surgical interventions, and interfacial adhesion, surface renewal, and topography.
The Center for Robust Decision-making on Climate and Energy Policy (RDCEP) brings together experts in climate science, statistics, computer science, economics, energy, public policy, and law to undertake a series of research programs aimed at improving the computational models needed to understand future climate impacts, evaluate policies, and make robust decisions based on outcomes.
P.I. willing to mentor undergraduate research volunteers and work study students interested in metabolism and the tumor microenvironment, with a focus on understanding the metabolic control of cell plasticity and function.
Surgery is anatomy. Anatomy is geometry. Geometry is the heart of mechanics.
SurgBioMech Lab studies the geometry and biomechanics of surgical anatomies and biological interfaces.
