Oliver Laboratory

The Oliver Lab focuses on revealing mechanisms governing T cell activation and protective immunity. Its goal is to define mechanisms that, when dysregulated, result in autoimmunity or allergic disorders like asthma.

Hill Laboratory

Scientists in the Hill Lab seek to understand how the immune system contributes to the two most common chronic diseases of childhood: allergy and obesity. The lab uses clinical and epidemiological information to guide basic and translational research aimed at understanding the genetic, epigenetic, and immunologic basis of these diseases.

Food Allergy Center

Conducting laboratory, translational, and clinical research to revolutionize medications and therapies aimed at eradicating childhood food allergies.

Center for Applied Genomics Laboratory

The Center for Applied Genomics (CAG) develops new and better ways to diagnose and treat children with genetic disorders, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, asthm

Justine Shults, PhD, MS

Dr. Shults works to develop statistical methods for longitudinal data that include semi-parametric approaches to account for subject/cluster level associations and maximum likelihood-based approaches for simulation and analysis of discrete longitudinal outcomes that may have overdispersion.
