Sherwood Casjens, Ph.D.
Dr. Casjens’ work involves the study of the assembly of virus particles as exemplified by bacteriophages and the study of the comparative genomics of the Lyme disease bacteria, Borrelia burgdorferi.
Raymond Daynes, Ph.D.
The research efforts of Dr. Daynes' laboratory are focused on understanding the molecular processes that collectively serve to regulate various cellular components of the mammalian immune system. Specifically, Dr. Daynes researches the roles played by a number of steroid hormones and their cellular receptors in controlling the initiation, types, magnitude and duration of innate and adaptive immune responses in vivo.
Robert Donahoe, Ph.D.
Dr. Donahoe’s research is focused on understanding the impact of substances of abuse (opiates, etc.) on the neuroimmune system, particularly as they impact AIDS and other infectious-disease processes.
Elena Enioutina, M.D., Ph.D.
My research focuses on two major topics: new strategies in the mucosal vaccine development and immunobiology of aging.
Xiao He, M.D., Ph.D.
We are interested in identifying and characterizing new genes, which regulate the functions of T lymphocytes, using molecular biology and cellular immunology approaches, and in ultimately applying the new findings to improve the diagnosis and treatment of related human diseases.
Peter Jensen, M.D.
Dr. Jensen is Professor and Chairman of the Department of Pathology at the University of Utah. His research is focused on various aspects of immunology, including antigen processing and presentation, immune regulation, and autoimmunity.
Jerry Kaplan, Ph.D.
Our research focuses on two topics, iron metabolism specifically compartmentalization and utilization and membrane trafficking and the regulation of endocytic vesicle size.
Matt Mulvey, Ph.D.
The Mulvey lab is working to understand how extraintestinal pathogenic strains of Escherichia coli (ExPEC) colonize and persist within the host. These bacteria are the major cause of urinary tract infections and are also important causative agents of pneumonia, bacteremia, neonatal meningitis, and wound infections. Our emphasis is in defining the interplay between host defense and bacterial virulence factors, in hopes that this knowledge can be used to develop more effective anti-bacterial therapeutics.
Vicente Planelles, Ph.D.
Pathogenesis by the human immunodeficiency virus: how HIV induces alterations in the cell cycle of the host cells, leading to programmed cell death.
David Stillman, Ph.D.
Dr. Stillman has focused his research efforts on understanding eukaryotic transcriptional regulation t the molecular level.
Dean Tantin, Ph.D.
Dr. Tantin’s laboratory is focused on genetic, biochemical & proteomic analysis of transcription factors in mammalian cells
Diane Ward, Ph.D.
Our research focuses on two topics, iron metabolism specifically compartmentalization and utilization and membrane trafficking and the regulation of endocytic vesicle size.
Matthew Williams, Ph.D.
Research in the Williams lab is focused on unraveling the signals that lead to immunologic memory.
