Xinghui Sun — Dr. Xinghui Sun's lab at the University of Nebraska Lincoln focuses on understanding how specific proteins influence liver and endothelial cell health. One major area of research investigates how matrin-3 affects liver inflammation and fibrosis, which are key aspects of metabolic diseases like steatohepatitis. Another focus is on the role of neddylation in maintaining the integrity of endothelial cells, which are crucial for vascular health. This research aims to uncover molecular mechanisms that could lead to new therapeutic strategies for liver ailments and vascular diseases.
Rebecca L Brock — Dr. Rebecca L. Brock's lab focuses on understanding how family dynamics, particularly the relationship between parents, influence children's emotional development, especially during the critical early years of life. The research aims to explore how parent conflicts and emotional connections affect preschoolers' ability to manage their emotions. Their findings aim to provide insights that could enhance early childhood interventions to support better emotional health in children.
Eric A Weaver — Dr. Eric A Weaver's lab focuses on developing innovative vaccines to prevent pandemic influenza viruses. They aim to create a universal influenza vaccine that can offer long-lasting protection against different strains of the virus. By combining various promising strategies, such as the use of conserved protein parts from the virus and advanced delivery systems, the lab is working toward a vaccine that is more effective than current options.
Qing Tang — Dr. Qing Tang's lab at the University of Nebraska Lincoln is focused on understanding how the Arp2/3 complex, a key player in actin assembly, regulates cellular processes. Through advanced imaging techniques, the lab studies how this complex interacts with various partners in living cells, which is important for understanding muscle contraction, immune responses, and cancer metastasis. The research aims to uncover how disruptions in these processes contribute to diseases, advancing both basic science and potential therapies.
