Our laboratory is interested in understanding how the ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation regulates gene expression and how failure of these pathways contributes to developmental disorders and diseases, such as neurodegeneration and cancer.

Protein Degradationprotein misfoldingTranscriptiongene expression
We are interested in understanding the deregulation of epigenetic and transcriptional pathways in human disease and in finding small molecules with therapeutic potential to normalize these gene expression patterns.
The overarching goal of Mason Lab's research is the development of prognostic imaging signatures defining biomarkers of disease progression and response to therapy.
We aim to elucidate the role of the innate immune system in damage and repair following ischemic and hemorrhagic insults to the brain. We are specifically focused on innate immune drivers of secondary injury following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and the immune response triggered by acute intracranial pressure spikes during aneurysm rupture. We also look into promoting recovery after ischemic stroke by reprogramming microglia and peripheral myeloid cells to drive repair. In addition, we are pursuing the development of therapeutics for intraarterial immunomodulation for chronic subdural hemorrhage.
McAdams Lab at UT Southwestern focuses on functional neuro-imaging studies to examine the connection between biological, psychological, and social aspects of eating disorders.
The Mendell laboratory investigates fundamental aspects of post-transcriptional gene regulation, noncoding RNA regulation and function, and the roles of these pathways in normal physiology, cancer, and other diseases.
The mission in the Meng Lab is to develop a better understanding of how fundamental alterations to cell polarity contribute towards development of invasive disease in kidney cancer.
Michaely Lab focuses on the function of the proteins that control plasma membrane function. We have on-going projects investigating ARH/LDLR endocytosis and caveolae signal transduction.
Minassian Lab has been involved in the identification and co-discovery of the causative gene mutations in over 20 different childhood neurological diseases.
The main focus of the Minna Lab is translational (“bench to bedside”) cancer research aimed at developing new ways to diagnose, prevent, and treat lung cancer based on a detailed understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of lung cancer.
Mirpuri Lab is focused on neonatal innate immunity and the role of maternal diet (mHFD), dietary metabolites and innate lymphoid cells in offspring outcomes.
Dr. Mizuno's laboratory studies autonomic control of the cardiovascular system, particularly the underlying alterations in circulatory control in type 1 or type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease.
The Moe Lab specializes in translational pathophysiology that spans from individual molecules, in vitro cell models, in vivo animal models, to metabolic human studies.
Mootha Lab uses human genetics and genomics to understand the molecular basis of Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy and develop novel therapeutic strategies.
The Moreland and Potera Labs utilize basic science approaches, in vivo models, and clinical studies to investigate cellular functions of the innate immune system.
Our goal is to better understand the mechanisms that maintain adult tissues and how cancer cells hijack these mechanisms to enable the formation of tumors.
Our laboratory seeks to understand the molecular mechanisms of targeted therapy resistance in various cancers, to identify novel biomarkers, and to develop therapeutic approaches to prevent or overcome resistance.
Mukhopadhyay Lab research aims to understand how the primary cilium regulates downstream pathways to ultimately drive morphogenesis in different tissues. We undertake a multi-pronged approach including proteomics, cell biology, biochemistry, reverse genetics, and generation of innovative mouse models to study regulation of signaling pathways by cilia in in cellular and organismal contexts.
