Modeling of CNS infections using induced pluripote; Modeling schizophrenia using induced pluripotents; Development of three-dimensional neuronal platform.

Steroid hormone action in neural stem cells and cancer          

We are developing novel chemical tools to investigate biological processes in Chemical Biology, using a multidisciplinary approach that includes small molecule synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and protein engineering.

The metabolic regulation of T cell function, with a specific focus of those T cells that infiltrate the nutrient-poor tumor microenvironment. 

HSV gene expression in productive and persistent infections 

Research in the Dermody laboratory focuses on the molecular mechanisms of Mammalian Orthoreovirus (reovirus) and Chikungunya virus infections.

The central goal of my lab is to explore the structure-function properties and antimicrobial mechanisms of cationic amphipathic peptides to develop peptide-based therapeutics for drug-resistant infections and cancer.

Conducts research in the areas of pharmaceutical policy and mental health, and has particular expertise in the Affordable Care Act.       

Research in the Duncan lab focuses on liver development, homeostasis, and regeneration.
