Infectious Diseases

Founding Chair of the School of Data Science and Professor of BME

Leading a range of initiatives to encourage and facilitate the use of big data in large-scale research across the scientific and technological disciplines. Special emphasis on structural bioinformatics and systems pharmacology.

Assistant Professor

Developing new systems biology approaches to understand fundamental mechanisms of immune regulation and dysregulation, with an ultimate objective of identifying strategies to design and improve immunotherapies.

Associate Professor, UVA Engineering Assistant Dean for Undergraduate Education

Using molecular biomechanics and engineering design to better understand and better prevent the movement of single cells and the spread of drug-resistant pathogens.

Associate Professor

Researching the relationship between cell mechanics and cell function using new tools in materials science and molecular biology, with a focus on cardiovascular disease.

Professor

Designing and using new experimental and computational approaches for analyzing cell signaling and transcriptional networks in cancer.

Associate Professor

Addressing fundamental questions about infectious disease by studying the membrane biology of virus-host cell interactions using both computational models and experimental approaches.

Professor

Developing computational models of cellular networks and performing high-throughput experiments to characterize biological systems relevant to human disease, with a focus on infectious disease and cancer.

Professor, Graduate Program Director

Combining experimental and computational models to design cell-based therapies for regenerating microvascular networks in diabetes, wound healing, and cardiovascular disease.

A Pan-University Strategic Research Initiative

Targets three major 21st century concerns: diarrheal disease in children, pandemic threats, and superbugs. Affiliated Faculty: Papin, French, Kelly, Peirce-Cottler, Guilford, Helmke, Janes, and Kasson.

48 investigators conducting research linked to defective immune response. Established in 1991 to develop and sustain a program of research and training of international stature.
