Immunology & Microbiology

ICollaborative research in BMB on several clinical projects These include using PCR and qPCR to characterize the vaginal microbiome and understand the progression from normal microbiota to those associated with bacterial vaginosis and other diseases. Also , using PCR to diagnose fungal infections directly from clinical samples, using qPCR to quantify and high resolution melt curve analysis to identify species. Finally we study novel antifungal resistance mechanisms using a gene over expression system in Candida albicans, notably looking at the effects of over expressing regulatory genes on potential target genes and pathways.

Internal Medicine

Laboratory in the division of Rheumatology, Deparment of Internal Medicine is located in the Karmanos Cancer Institute. The main thrust of our research program is the autoimmune response in cancer and in the systemic autoimmune diseases. We have a project to develop biomarkers for the early diagnosis of breast cancer supported by an NIH R01 award in which I am the PI. Dr. Naimei Tang, an Assistant Professor in our Department is supported by the EPA to investigate risk factors related to asbestosis, in particular malignant mesothelioma. Dr. Harpreet Sagar is involved in a project to identify novel autoantibody biomarkers in rheumatoid arthritis supported by a grant from the Harper Hospital Trust fund.

Molecular & Translational Neurology Laboratory


Neurosurgery

Usually have 3-4 medical students rotating through this lab (neuro-oncology) every summer (usually 3rd years, sometimes 4th years). If there are students who would like to do biochemistry/molecular biology/cell biology research on brain tumors, they can join the lab for one-month research rotation stints. Also, if there are any hardy souls willing to do biophysics related research, they are welcome too! Usually we take one medical student at a time, as there are usually other students in the lab who need attention as well. If the prospective medical student can give me at least one-month’s advanced notice before the start date. A one-month project can be tailored for them in advance or partition a longer term one into smaller slots.

This program enables medical, dental, and veterinary students from U.S. schools to spend a year conducting basic, translational, or applied biomedical research at any school or nonprofit research institution in the United States, except at the NIH in Bethesda, MD. For the 2010-2011 program year, Fellows will receive a stipend of $27,000, a fellow’s allowance of $5,500 that may be used for health care and other expenses and a $5,500 research allowance. The application deadline is January 11, 2010.


The HHMI-NIH Research Scholars Program (Cloister Program)

This program enables medical, dental, and veterinary students from U.S. schools to spend 9 to 12 months conducting basic, translational, or applied biomedical research in one of the many laboratories on the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland. Novel aspects of this program include housing for all Scholars together on the NIH campus, and student selection of preceptor and research project after acceptance into the program. For the 2010-2011 program year, Scholars will receive annual compensation of $27,000, health insurance, moving expense reimbursement, and numerous other benefits.
