Dr. Fadi Khasawneh's lab at Texas A&M University focuses on understanding how the exposure of future fathers to electronic nicotine delivery systems (like e-cigarettes) impacts cardiovascular health and thrombosis, especially in offspring. Their research aims to uncover the mechanisms behind these effects, including how paternal exposure influences platelet function and blood clotting. By investigating these areas, the lab seeks to inform public health strategies and policies related to tobacco use and paternal health.

Dr. Zhenyu Li's lab focuses on understanding the role of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) not just as a biomarker for cardiovascular diseases like heart failure, but also as an active participant in the development of these conditions. The research investigates how BNP contributes to thrombosis, a critical factor in cardiovascular events, by affecting platelet function. The ultimate goal is to reveal new therapeutic targets that can improve heart disease prognosis.

Dr. Mansoor A Khan's lab focuses on improving medication delivery systems for pediatric patients, particularly in the treatment of HIV and toxoplasmosis. By utilizing advanced 3D printing techniques, the lab aims to create flexible dosage forms that are tailored to children's needs, addressing critical gaps in current medication formulations. This innovative approach seeks to enhance patient adherence to therapy by providing age-appropriate and effective delivery systems.
