Sarit A Golub — Dr. Sarit A. Golub's research focuses on improving healthcare for people living with HIV by using advanced data science techniques. The lab is particularly interested in leveraging machine learning algorithms to enhance care coordination strategies, ensuring that patients receive timely and effective support. This work aims to reduce emergency department visits and hospitalizations, ultimately improving health outcomes for vulnerable populations. Through various studies, the lab examines both the effectiveness and implementation challenges of these innovations in HIV care.
Regina Miranda — Regina Miranda's research lab focuses on understanding suicide ideation in children aged 8 to 12. By using a combination of interviews, caregiver insights, and body mapping, the lab seeks to create better ways of assessing suicide risk that account for cultural diversity. This work is important as it aims to develop tailored support for young individuals experiencing these critical issues.
Tyrel J Starks — Dr. Tyrel J. Starks leads a research lab focused on developing innovative interventions to reduce drug use and HIV transmission risk among sexual minority men (SMM) in relationships. The lab aims to improve public health by applying a novel approach to couples motivational interviewing, which helps partners address their drug use and related health behaviors together. By conducting research that includes online recruitment and remote interventions, the lab aims to deliver effective health strategies tailored to the needs of SMM couples.
Mande Holford — Dr. Mande Holford's research lab at Hunter College focuses on understanding the evolution and molecular mechanisms of venom in cephalopods, a group of marine animals known for their complex behaviors and unique biology. The lab seeks to develop innovative genetic models to study how venom glands evolve and function, with implications for drug discovery and precision medicine. By creating transgenic cephalopods, the team aims to unlock the potential of venom-derived therapeutics and advance fundamental biological research.
