Cai (Xin) Lab
How do cells sense metabolites to drive their growth and proliferation? We seek to study metabolites not only as nutrients but as cellular instruction signals that dictate cell biology.

The Calvier Lab's research focuses on endothelial modulation as a therapeutic approach to inflammatory diseases.
The Camacho Lab focuses on understanding key genetic events that lead to cancer in an effort to identify novel targets that will help improve existing therapies
The CDR Collaborative studies last mile delivery problems across the cancer control continuum to develop and implement solutions.
We study bacterial RNA polymerase function and regulation.
Please contact our team if planning neoadjuvant Adriamycin (doxorubicin), for enrollment in the HP Cardiotox Study.
The CPI lab is directed by Dr. Qing Zou and it works closely with a cross-disciplinary team (clinicians, scientists, fellows) to develop and translate novel MRI techniques for cardiopulmonary MRI for patients with congenital and acquired heart diseases. The research involves different aspects of MRI, including image acquisition and reconstruction, post-processing, quantitative image analysis, pre-clinical investigation, and clinical translation and evaluation. The lab has access to a cardiac-dedicated clinical 1.5T scanner (Philips), a research-dedicated low-field 0.55T MR scanner (Siemens), three research-dedicated 3T scanners (Philips, Siemens, GE). The lab also has access to a high-field 7T research scanner (Philips) for research on the high-field scanner. Some of the scanners also have the capability to do multi-nuclear imaging.
We conduct state-of-the-art clinical trials in the field of cardiovascular diseases, offering patients access to advanced clinical therapies that would otherwise not be available.
The global focus of the Cardiovascular Physiology Autonomic Function Laboratory is to examine the adaptive capacity of the circulation.
The work of Deborah Carlson, Ph.D., focuses on characterizing the inflammasome mediating the inflammatory response in the heart following thermal injury and thermal injury complicated with sepsis.
Kidney disease has reached epidemic proportions in the U.S. The Carroll Lab performs basic and translational research focused on kidney development, maintenance and regeneration.
Castrillion Lab's work is aimed at understanding why endometrial or uterine cancers arise and spread, with an eye on prevention, earlier and more accurate diagnosis, improved treatments, and better overall patient outcomes.
Interrogating the genome to better understand the mechanisms causing autism spectrum disorder and other neurodevelopmental disorders and inform innovative therapies
Dr. Chalak’s lab focuses on improving neonatal neurologic care and outcomes for vulnerable babies through the NeuroNICU clinical program, Neonatal Neurology Fellowship, and NIH research program.
Our lab is creating better experimental models that reveal how cancer cells metastasize and evade our immune system. We use these models to develop new drugs that engage our immune system to kill cancer cells.
The work of the CHemical Advanced Neuroimaging lab is focused on developing state-of-the-art proton MRS and MRSI methods and leveraging these tools to answer key clinical questions and improve the quality of neurologic care.
We are interested in building small organic molecules and studying their functions in biological systems. Our lab started in 2004 using state-of-the-art tools to address challenging issues in the field of natural product synthesis.
Elizabeth Chen Lab focuses research on cell-cell fusion, drosophila myoblast fusion, invasive membrane protrusions, actin binding and bundling proteins, and mechanoresponsive proteins.
Welcome to the Reproductive Genomics Laboratory (RGL) at UT Southwestern Medical Center where we innovate at the intersection of genomics, bioengineering, and data science to answer fundamental questions in reproductive biology.
Our primary research interest is to understand the emerging roles of the “unannotated genome,” which encodes a whole new class of uncharacterized microproteins. We focus on the relevance and function of this “dark proteome” in regulating development and disease.
Chen lab studies how dysregulation of RNA synthesis and degradation drives childhood cancers with the ultimate goal of identifying new therapeutic vulnerabilities to exploit in treating them.
Chen Lab is broadly interested in mechanisms of signal transduction, namely how a cell communicates with its surroundings and within itself.
