Parker, Jones G
Assistant Professor of Neuroscience, Pharmacology and Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
Peek, Clara B
Assistant Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics and Medicine (Endocrinology)
Bio
Epidemiological and genetic studies have shown that disruption of the circadian clock is a factor in multiple pathologies, including metabolic disease, myopathy, and cancer. Our laboratory aims to unc... [more]
Penaloza-MacMaster, Pablo
Assistant Professor of Microbiology-Immunology
Bio
The goal of Dr. Penaloza's research is to understand the basic mechanisms of immune regulation and to use this information to develop vaccines and regimens against chronic infections, such as HIV and ... [more]
Perera, Minoli
Associate Professor of Pharmacology
Bio
The Perera laboratory focuses on pharmacogenomics (using a patient's genome to predict drug response) in minority populations. Working in this translation research space requires both clinical experti... [more]
