In the Lab The Kaiser lab specializes in investigating sex differences in the pathophysiology of stroke, traumatic brain injury, and vascular cognitive impairment. Within the lab, the Kaiser team employs clinically relevant assessments, including magnetic resonance imaging, to evaluate tissue-level changes. Additionally, they utilize gait and neurobehavioral tests to assess functional-level outcomes in response to…

In the Lab The Zhao group is focused on innovating novel approaches to improve magnetic resonance (MR) imaging physics at cellular level for early detection and therapeutic treatment of cancers, for tracking of stem cells, and for other biophysical and biomedical applications. MRI-based cell tracking using super-paramagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) particles provide an excellent means…

In the Lab The Barany lab seeks to understand the behavioral and neural mechanisms of goal-directed movement. They combine behavioral, neuroimaging, and neurostimulation methods to investigate how brain flexibly transforms goals into motor-specific representations to guide action. The long-term goal of the Barany research team is to establish a mechanistic framework rooted in basic human…

In the Lab Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1ß) is a cytokine that is produced by the immune system and a variety of cells in response to an insult. Previous work in our lab has demonstrated that this cytokine is capable of affecting specific neurotransmitter systems in specific parts of the brain by crossing the blood brain barrier…

In the Lab The Kner Lab develops new techniques for improving the resolution of three-dimensional fluorescence imaging. We are interested in combining different super-resolution techniques (structured illumination, STORM) with adaptive optics and light-sheet microscopy for obtaining sub-diffraction resolution throughout model organisms such as C. elegans and zebrafish.
