Denise Kirschner

My research for almost 30 years has focused on questions related to the immune response aspect of host-pathogen interactions in infectious diseases. My research has pioneered models of host-pathogen dynamics at multiple spatial and time scales and in multiple physiological compartments including lung, lymph nodes and blood. We were one of the first people to ...

Complex media such as biological tissue have complicated anisotropic physical properties (e.g. stiffness tensor, Willis coupling tensors) that depend on direction and are important to measure. For example, they may inform on the tissue health. We probe complex media with mechanical waves and process the scattered fields to learn the media dynamics using an array ...

Scott Leiser

The Leiser lab is interested in the biology of aging, in order to both understand the fundamental processes that lead to deterioration in health over time and to mitigate this deterioration and thus improve health in our world. This research strategy allows us to answer questions about why organisms age, and at the same time ...

I became interested in the fossil record generally, and fishes specifically, from growing up in the Cleveland area. Here the rocks contain remarkable fossils of early fishes dating to ~360 million years ago. I was fascinated by these strange animals as a kid, and somehow that interest persisted. The most exciting thing is our ability ...

Jian Kang

Professor Jian Kang’s research lies at the forefront of data science in biostatistics, with a strong emphasis on developing and applying advanced Bayesian and machine learning methodologies to extract insights from complex biomedical data. His work integrates statistical rigor with computational innovation to address high-dimensional, structured, and noisy data commonly encountered in public health, neuroscience, ...

By combining our analysis of published Olympic data on the reaction times of ~200 male and ~200 female sprinters at the Olympic Games with our own published biomechanical data on sex differences in the rates of developing ankle muscle strength, we identified a flaw in the way Omega measured the reaction times of female Olympic ...

One of our projects, which is a collaboration with Dr. Sung Won Choi's lab and others, is aimed at finding new ways for personalized prediction of side effects of a new cancer therapy called CAR-T cell therapy. This is a potentially life-saving therapy that can also have serious side effects, including one called cytokine release ...

Tina Lasisi

I began my academic journey studying Archaeology and Anthropology at the University of Cambridge, where I developed an early interest in human biological variation. I continued this work during my Ph.D. in Biological Anthropology at Penn State University, focusing on developing quantitative, reproducible methods for studying hair morphology and pigmentation. During my postdoctoral training in ...

Holly Jarman

I worked in politics for a while before I realized that I wanted to study it. My various political jobs in the UK and US left me with frustration about how political systems work and a desire to study them, but most of all a strong motivation for doing policy-relevant research. My PhD from the ...
