Chiung-Yu Hung — Chiung-Yu Hung's lab at the University of Texas San Antonio is focused on addressing the urgent need for better treatments and vaccines for coccidioidomycosis, commonly known as Valley Fever. The lab is part of the San Antonio-based Coccidioidomycosis Collaborative Research Center (SA-CCRC), which promotes collaborative research among various experts to develop antifungal drugs and improve clinical outcomes for affected patients. The lab aims to advance research and training in this under-studied area of medical mycology, delivering innovative solutions to combat this significant health issue.
Hugo Giambini — Dr. Hugo Giambini's lab focuses on improving recovery from rotator cuff tears, a common shoulder injury that can lead to muscle degeneration. They are developing innovative nanotherapy approaches to convert unhealthy fatty tissue into a healthier, metabolically active type of fat, which could enhance muscle healing and function after injuries. By blending engineering techniques with biological insights, the lab aims to find effective treatments for better patient outcomes in shoulder injuries.
