Deborah R. Gustafson — Dr. Deborah R. Gustafson's research lab focuses on understanding the unique clinical and behavioral aspects of HIV infection, particularly in aging populations. The lab is part of a broader initiative that studies a diverse group of individuals living with HIV and examines the associated health conditions and social factors. By engaging communities and multidisciplinary teams, the lab aims to enhance research protocols that will inform better health management for those affected by HIV.
John Danias — Dr. John Danias's lab at SUNY Downstate Medical Center studies how changes in the extracellular matrix (ECM) affect eye pressure and contribute to conditions like glaucoma. They focus on understanding how steroids can alter the ECM in the eye, leading to increased intraocular pressure, and aim to identify potential therapeutic strategies to reverse these effects. The lab combines advanced models and experimental techniques to explore these critical interactions, ultimately striving to improve treatments for glaucoma and related ocular conditions.
Janice L Brissette — Dr. Janice L. Brissette's lab at SUNY Downstate Medical Center focuses on improving cancer treatment by developing a novel diagnostic biomarker to predict patient responses to specific breast cancer therapies. The lab investigates how changes in the protein p27Kip1 can indicate whether patients with metastatic breast cancer will benefit from CDK4/6 inhibitors, which are crucial for managing certain breast cancers. The research aims to make cancer treatments more effective and personalized.
