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.
Jasna Kovac
Lester Earl and Veronica Casida Career Development Professor of Food Safety; Associate Professor of Food Science
Integrating epidemiological, microbiological, molecular and omics methods to better understand microbial pathogenic potential, antimicrobial resistance, and epidemiology of foodborne pathogens.
Reuben Kraft
Professor of Mechanical Engineering
Computational methods and high performance computing to examine brain neurotrauma biomechanics; human structural connectome analysis using physics-based predictions of biomechanical brain injury.
Jennifer Kraschnewski
Director, Clinical and Translational Science Institute
Behavioral interventions to promote healthy lifestyles in clinical and community settings to address health disparities
