Aravamuthan Lab
Bhooma Aravamuthan, MD, DPhil
The Aravamuthan lab’s translational research spans animal and patient-based studies to better diagnose, predict and understand the causes of dystonia following neonatal brain injury.
Cerebral Oxygen Metabolism in Children (COMIC) Brain Imaging Research Lab
Kristin Guilliams, MD MSCI
The COMIC lab uses non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques to understand how blood flow and oxygen use changes as the brain is growing and developing throughout the first several decades of life.
Dang Lab
Mai Dang, MD, PhD
The primary research goal of my laboratory is to uncover novel ways to alter the pediatric brain tumor microenvironment to enhance the efficacy of existing treatments and make treatments safer for children.
Dosenbach Lab
Nico U.F. Dosenbach, MD, PhD
Plasticity is one of the hallmark features of the human brain. Use-driven plasticity is critically important for typical development as well as recovering from brain injury. Thus, the overarching goal of our research is to better understand use-driven brain plasticity.
Mar Lab
Soe Mar, MD
Dr. Mar’s current research efforts are directed at pediatric multiple sclerosis and other white matter diseases, and pediatric migraine. Her international research efforts are directed at HIV related neurocognitive disorders in perinatally acquired HIV and neuro infectious diseases.
Neil Lab
Jeffrey J. Neil, MD, PhD
Our research group is focused on application of magnetic resonance methods to obtain a better understanding of brain injury.
Thio Lab
Kwee Liu Lin Thio, MD, PhD
The research interests of Liu-Lin Thio, MD, PhD, are cellular neurophysiology, inhibitory glycine receptors and ketogenic diet. He holds clinic weekly, is consultant pediatric epileptologist for the Pediatric Cerebral Palsy Center and serves on the Pharmaceutical, Diagnostics and Therapeutics Subcommittee at St. Louis Children’s Hospital.
Washington University Neonatal Development Research (WUNDER) Lab
Cynthia Rogers, MD
Christopher Smyser, MD
Our team strives to improve the outcomes for infants born at risk for adverse long term brain development.
Wong Lab
Michael Wong, MD, PhD
The primary goal of the Wong lab is to understand biological mechanisms in the brain underlying epilepsy with the ultimate purpose of developing new therapies for epilepsy patients.
Zempel Lab
John Zempel, MD, PhD
By studying a model system of partial seizures which has been adapted to the magnetic resonance environment, allowing the measurement of electrical signals concurrent with imaging. Using conventional and newly developed magnetic resonance techniques, John Zempel, MD, PhD, and his colleagues have localized ongoing seizure activity and characterized the damage that occurs with seizures.
