Hu Laboratory
Gouchang Hu, MD, Ph.D. (Assistant Professor, Anesthesiology & Pharmacology) studies sepsis-mediated acute lung injury and regulation of pulmonary alveolar and vascular inflammation via TLR-4 and p-120 catenin. These studies utilize cell culture, isolated lungs and whole animal models of sepsis to determine the role of TLR-4 mediated lung injury. Read more…
Minshall Laboratory
Richard D. Minshall, Ph.D. (Associate Professor, Anesthesiology Pharmacology, Bioengineering) studies the molecular regulation of endothelial permeability pathways and pathological mechanisms of pulmonary hypertension, acute lung injury, and ARDS. In addition, Minshall and colleagues are investigating anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and anti-metastatic effects of volatile and local anesthetics. Red more…
Cho Laboratory
Jaehyung (Gus) Cho, Ph.D. (Assistant Professor, Anesthesiology & Pharmacology) studies the molecular mechanisms of the platelet-leukocyte-endothelium interactions at the site of vascular injury. These studies are being performed using pharmacologic and genetic approaches in real-time fluorescence microscopy in vitro and in vivo. Read more…
