Marion S. Buckwalter, MD, PhD
Professor of Neurology and Neurological Sciences (Adult Neurology) and of Neurosurgery
On Partial Leave from 11/01/2024 To 10/31/2025Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe goal of the Buckwalter Lab is to improve how people recover after a stroke. We use basic and clinical research to understand the cells, proteins, and genes that lead to successful recovery of function, and also how complications develop that impact quality of life after stroke. Ongoing projects are focused on understanding how inflammatory responses are regulated after a stroke and how they affect short-term brain injury and long term outcomes like dementia and depression.

Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur interests include:
1) The physiology and function of lymphocyte homing in local and systemic immunity;
2) Biochemical and genetic studies of molecules that direct leukocyte recruitment;
3) Chemotactic mechanisms and receptors in vascular and immune biology;
4) Vascular control of normal and pathologic inflammation and immunity;
5) Systems biology of immune cell trafficking and programming in tumor immunity. -
Weidong Cai
Clinical Associate Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
BioMy research investigates the brain mechanisms underlying cognitive deficits in two key populations: children with neurodevelopmental disorders, particularly ADHD, and elders with neurodegenerative conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease. By integrating cognitive science, neuroscience, and computational modeling with cutting-edge functional neuroimaging techniques, I aim to uncover the neurocognitive processes that shape both typical and atypical brain development and aging. My research goal is to advance our understanding of the factors contributing to cognitive dysfunction across the lifespan, with the ultimate goal of improving diagnosis and treatment strategies.

Jan Carette
Professor of Microbiology and Immunology
On Partial Leave from 01/16/2025 To 09/16/2025Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur research focuses on the identification of host genes that play critical roles in the pathogenesis of infectious agents including viruses. We use haploid genetic screens in human cells as an efficient approach to perform loss-of-function studies. Besides obtaining fundamental insights on how viruses hijack cellular processes and on host defense mechanisms, it may also facilitate the development of new therapeutic strategies.

Victor G. Carrión
John A. Turner Endowed Professor for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsExamines the interplay between brain development and stress vulnerability via a multi-method approach that includes psychophysiology, neuroimaging, neuroendocrinology and phenomenology. Treatment development that focuses on individual and community-based interventions for stress related conditions in children and adolescents that experience traumatic stress.

Ian Carroll, MD, MS
Associate Professor of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine (Adult Pain)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe are committed to promoting an understanding of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, and ensuring that all patients who are suffering from cerebrospinal fluid leaks receive appropriate diagnosis and treatment of this devastating, chronic, and fixable condition. We believe this can be best accomplished in a multidisciplinary setting involving expertise in radiology, neurology, and interventional pain medicine.
