Dr. Oliver Bracko's lab at the University of Miami focuses on understanding how blood flow reductions in the brain relate to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's Disease. By studying immune cells called neutrophils, this lab investigates how these cells interact with blood vessels and contribute to cognitive decline. The ultimate goal is to discover new biological markers that can help predict or modify the progression of diseases like Alzheimer's and vascular dementia.

Dr. Sebastian Patrick Fuchs runs a research lab at the University of Miami School of Medicine focusing on innovative ways to enhance the immune response to HIV treatment using advanced virus-mediated gene delivery systems. His lab is pioneering strategies to prevent the immune system from rejecting therapeutic antibodies delivered through adeno-associated viruses (AAV). This research aims to develop an effective treatment for HIV that could offer long-term solutions without the need for continuous medication.

David Benner Lombard's lab at the University of Miami focuses on researching Ewing sarcoma, a serious childhood cancer. The lab investigates a molecule called SIRT5 to see if it can be targeted to improve treatments, especially for patients who have the most aggressive forms of the disease. The aim is to create new drugs that can effectively kill Ewing sarcoma cells while minimizing side effects for patients.
