My lab is interested in developing mathematical models of biological regulatory processes that integrate specific knowledge about protein-protein interactions.     

We develop materials-based, engineering strategies to control the self-organization and assembly of various cell types into tissues using nanoscale fabrication and 3D bioprinting. Understanding of higher-order function in biological systems.   

We use multimodal imaging techniques—high-density EEG, TMS, MRI, and MRSI—in healthy and psychiatric populations to study the neurobiology and cognitive dysfunctions of major disorders like OCD, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.

Cognitive and educational neuroscience of reading, language, math, and learning.       

aging, metabolism, mitochondria ; For over twenty years, my research group has studied mitochondrial function, cellular metabolism, oxidative stress, and aging, gaining expertise in mitochondrial assays, molecular biology, mouse models, and physiological measurements.

Immunology and Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis.          

Forno’s overarching research interests are the epidemiology, genetic epidemiology, and genomics of asthma. He is particularly focused on the effects of obesity and adiposity on childhood asthma.
