This list of affiliated investigators can help you identify potential research mentors at the University of Pittsburgh. PSTP students can, and do, work with mentors not on this list, but the investigators featured below have expressed interest in hosting PSTP students in their laboratories.
Developing a better understanding of cutaneous biology and skin immune function, and leveraging that evolving understanding to develop new skin-targeted strategies to modulate local and systemic immune responses
Respiratory assist and blood processing devices for critical care medicine; Cardiovascular and pulmonary transport phenomena
The neurobiology of schizophrenia and neurophysiological abnormalities during wakefulness and sleep in early course psychosis

The Fouquerel lab is interested in understanding the mechanisms that ensure genome stability. We are particularly focused on how DNA-dependent ADP-Ribose Transferase (ART; PARP) enzymatic activities orchestrate the preservation of telomeres and centromeres, regions of the genome whose instability contributes to tumorigenesis.
The production and signal transduction properties of oxidizing and free radical mediators in metabolic, respiratory and cardiovascular diseases
Dopaminergic signal transduction in the central nervous system, dopamine role in regulating peripheral pancreatic insulin secretion
The study of the basic mechanisms of apoptosis, as mediated by the caspase apoptotic family in neurologic diseases
