We are focused on developing statistical and deep learning methods, along with software and bioinformatic tools, for analyzing genetic and genomic data. Additionally, we aim to understand the biological mechanisms underlying various disease phenotypes, including cardiovascular disease, hypertension, obesity, sleep disorders, and Alzheimer's Disease.

Xiaofeng Zhu's Biography

My lab studies pathogenic mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration in age-related neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson disease with a focus on mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress. A variety of experimental systems are used, including primary and transformed neuronal cells and multiple mouse models representing these disorders as well as brain tissues from human patients.

Xiongwei Zhu's Biography 

We are interested in utilizing an advancing imaging technique, cryo-electron tomography, to visualize antimicrobial protein complexes directly in their native cellular context. We also employ cryo-EM single particle analysis and other biophysical techniques to study the structure and mechanism of antimicrobial macromolecular complexes. We aim to provide essential structural information to help develop strategies to combat infectious diseases.

I focus on changes in neuronal gene expression after injury and their relationship to nerve regeneration. I study the role of immune cells in nerve degeneration and regeneration, and compare nerve regeneration in different types of sensory neurons. 

Richard Zigmond's Biography 

I interrogate molecular sequence polymorphism associated with susceptibility and resistance to infectious diseases.
