Priya Raman	praman@neomed.edu	NEOMED	My lab is interested in the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying vascular complications and Alzheimer's disease-related dementia associated with diabetes and obesity. We are studying the role of a post-translational protein modification (O-Glycosylation) and a proatherogenic matricellular protein (Thrombospondin-1) in vascular smooth muscle cell phenotypic changes and seeking to understand how targets contributed to vascular and cognitive anomalies in metabolic disorders.
Erin Reed-Geaghan	ereedgeaghan@neomed.edu	NEOMED	My lab is interested in the role of the immune system in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Specifically, we seek to understand the ways in which the brain’s resident immune cells, microglia, contribute to the neuroinflammatory processes driving neurodegeneration. We believe microglia from men and women respond differently in AD, contributing to the sex differences in disease onset and progression, and we’re working on identifying the reasons for these differences. We are also interested in how these cells communicate with the circulating peripheral immune system, and the ways in which these interactions affect disease progression.
Prabodh Sadana	psadana@neomed.edu	NEOMED	Hormonal regulation of lipid metabolism.
Thorsten-Lars Schmidt	tschmi21@kent.edu	�鶹ӰԺ	DNA nanotechnology-based tools and materials for single-molecule biophysics and nanomedicine. More on Schmidt
Xinwen Wang	xwang2@neomed.edu	NEOMED	One size does not fit all. For many patients, standard drug treatment might not work or even trigger life-threatening adverse reactions. There is an urgent clinical need to provide tailored therapy for patients. Our laboratory focuses on applying pharmaco-omics tools (i.e. pharmacogenomics, proteomics and metabolomics) to identify both genetic and non-genetic factors contributing to the interindividual variability related to disease risks and drug therapies. Our research is expected to improve the efficacy and safety of drugs by identifying biomarkers that can predict individual drug responses, revealing novel drug targets and translating these findings into clinical precision pharmacotherapy.
