My research interests are generally in operations research and, more specifically, in stochastic models and stochastic dynamic programming applied to healthcare. My research is in data-driven models for improving decision-making in cardiovascular disease, cancer, mental health, and substance abuse.
Kristen Naegle, Ph.D.
Kristen Naegle uses data- and computational-driven approaches to predict, and experimental approaches to test, the regulation and function of tyrosine phosphorylation in complex networks.
Richard J. Price, Ph.D.
Dr. Price's research program centers on the development and implementation of image-guided drug and gene delivery systems for treating cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.
Róża Przanowska, Ph.D.
Dr. Róża Kamila Przanowska is a Polish molecular biologist specializing in non-coding RNAs in cancer and development.
George F. Rich
George F. Rich, M.D. is the Harrison Medical Teaching Professor and Chair of Anesthesiology at the University of Virginia.
Jeff Saucerman, PhD, Professor of Biomedical Engineering, combines computational models and high-throughput experiments to discover molecular networks and drugs that control cardiac remodeling.
Natasha Diba Sheybani, Ph.D.
Dr. Sheybani leads a translational research program centered on innovating tools and paradigms for non-invasive precision cancer management.
Dr. Tang's research program centers on the structure-mechanics relationships of hierarchical biological materials and their clinical and biomedical applications. Many biological tissues, such as our own skeleton, perform a diverse range of functions with remarkable mechanical properties. These exceptional properties arise from the functional
Kelsey Watts, Ph.D.
Kelsey Watts, Ph.D., is dedicated to unraveling the sex-specific mechanisms that govern cardiovascular disease in order to make healthcare more equitable.
