Research Laboratories
Faculty engaged in medical research are associated with separate laboratories focused on specific conditions or illnesses. The full list of Faculty Research Interests shows those assignmnents, and the laboratories are described below.
Faculty Research
A complete listing of faculty research interests.
Ances Laboratory
Bateman Laboratory
Our laboratory's focus is on the causes, diagnosis and future treatments of Alzheimer disease. We directly measure the pathophysiology of Alzheimer disease in humans using multiple techniques and also perform in vitro cell culture experiments.
Brody Laboratory
Research in our laboratory and collaborative group is focused on the development of novel therapeutic and diagnostic strategies for traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Cairns Laboratory
Nigel Cairns is interested in clarifying the pathological changes in the brains of these patients who come to autopsy and the mechanisms by which nerve cells die and cause dementia.
Clifford Laboratory
Dr. Clifford has a broad interest in neuropharmacology. Development of more successful medical management of neurological disease has been his clinical focus, and has included participation in studies of epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and virtually all neurologic complications of HIV.
Connolly Laboratory
Anne Connolly, M.D. is an expert in pediatric neuromuscular disease and neuroimmunology. She is involved in several clinical studies examining the relationship between auto-antibodies and childhood neurological disorders, including opsoclonus/myoclonus, epilepsy, autism, and peripheral nerve injury.
Corbetta Laboratory
My research aims to understand the neural basis of human cognition, in particular vision and attention. Areas of the human brain involved in these processes are visualized in vivo in normal volunteers using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
Criswell Laboratory
Information Coming Soon
Cross Laboratory
The goal of our research is to understand the mechanisms involved in pathogenesis of inflammation and demyelination in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord).
Dhar Laboratory
Information Coming Soon
Diamond Laboratory
Diringer Laboratory
All NNICU physicians have specialized research interests directed at improving the care we provide our patients. A unique aspect of this facility is that it is the only Neuro-ICU in the country with a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanner located on site.
Eisenman Laboratory
My primary research interest in the role of GABA receptors both in the normal physiology of the brain and in pathological states, particularly epilepsy.
Fagan Laboratory
Dr. Fagan is a Washington University Alzheimer's Disease Research Center Investigator, a faculty member of the Hope Center for Neurological Disorders, and the 2006 recipient of the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Award (New Investigator) awarded by the Alzheimer's Association.
Golumbek Laboratory
Information Coming Soon
Gurnett Laboratory
Dr. Gurnett has an interest in understanding the genes involved in inherited forms of epilepsy. Her current approach is to study large families with epilepsy or individuals with unusual chromosomal malformations.
Gutmann Laboratory
Normal Growth Control and Tumor Formation in the Mammalian Brain
Harms Laboratory
Holtzman Laboratory
A major interest in my lab is in understanding basic mechanisms underlying acute and chronic cell dysfunction in the CNS particularly as these mechanisms may relate to Alzheimer's disease (AD) and injury to the developing brain. There are two major areas of focus currently in my lab.
