This study hopes to revise the currently used criteria for diagnoses of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA).

The Shah Lab investigates obesity and its related complications. Current work includes clinical and translational studies exploring the pathophysiology and modulation of obesity-related adipose tissue and systemic inflammation using human cell lines and clinical trials.

The Rivella Laboratory uses lentiviral vectors for modulation of gene expression and gene transfer for the cure of hemoglobinopathies.

Dr. Stachelek's laboratory employs an interdisciplinary approach to understand inflammatory processes in the vasculature with the overarching goal of developing novel strategies to address aberrant biocompatibility issues associated with cardiovascular devices.
