Yongsoo Kim
Professor of Neuroscience
The cellular architecture and functional organization of the brain using mice as a primary mammalian model, integrating high-resolution 3D brain mapping techniques, digital atlasing, neuroinformatics tools, and advanced experimental models to study brain cell types (e.g., neuronal and glial subtypes) and neurovascular contributions to brain health.

Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics
Laura Klein
Professor of Biobehavioral Health
Biobehavioral effects of stress on drug abuse; sex differences in neuroendocrine and behavioral stress responses; nicotine regulation of stress reactivity.
Mya Knappenberger
Graduate Student
Mya's research interests include the social and emotional behaviors in rodent models in relations to food intake and eating behaviors, the relationship between neural components (the reward pathway), and eating behaviors.
Sean Knecht
Research Professor of Engineering Design
Non-equilibrium plasma systems and device designs for biomedical and agricultural applications, and clean fuels from industrial waste gases. Medical device examples include Plasma Patch for infection control in chronic or burn wounds and Plasma Catheter for treatment of infectious endocarditis
Lincoln Koehler
Graduate Student
Maize nitrogen use efficiency: Genetic basis and influence of AMF symbiosis
Kehinde Kolapo
Entomology Graduate Student
How endophytic fungi contribute to enhancing maize (Zea mays) tolerance to both biotic and abiotic stresses, particularly phytopathogen infection, herbivore attack, and drought.
Imhoi Koo
Associate Research Professor
Develop pipeline and algorithms
of metabolomics data processing.
Donna Korzick
Director of Graduate Training Initiatives; Professor of Physiology and Kinesiology
My research is focused on aging, post-menopausal women, and cardiac ischemia reperfusion injury using animal models. We are particularly interested in the effects of estrogen deficiency on mitochondrial regulation of cell survival following myocardial infarction. Multiple levels of inquiry addressing mitochondrial quality control regulation and immune signaling is emphasized.
Sergei Koshkin
Assistant Research Professor
The application and development of mass spectrometry methods for analysis of biomolecules for identification of prognostic/diagnostic/predictive biomarkers and research of mechanisms and regulations of normal and pathological processes in living systems.
David Koslicki
Chair, Intercollege Graduate Degree Program in Bioinformatics and Genomics; Associate Professor of Computer Science and Engineering and Biology
Developing efficient algorithms to extract insight from high-throughput sequencing data.
Sri-Rajasekhar Kothapalli
Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering
Development and translation of multimodal imaging technologies—integrating optical, ultrasound, and photoacoustic methods—for pre-clinical and clinical applications in cancer, vascular, and neurological diseases. The core objective is to enable non-invasive, simultaneous measurements of structural, functional, and molecular information in living subjects with high spatial and temporal resolutions across both superficial and deep tissue regions.
