Richard Bruick, Ph.D.
Michael L. Rosenberg Scholar in Medical Research
Assistant Professor, Department of Biochemistry
Dr. Bruick investigates cellular pathways that sense and respond to changes in oxygen availability. His laboratory has identified oxygen-dependent enzymes that regulate a hypoxia-inducible transcription factor, HIF, central to the hypoxic response pathway.

Yuh Min Chook, Ph.D.
Eugene McDermott Scholar in Medical Research
Assistant Professor, Department of Pharmacology
Dr. Chook's research focuses on the role of karyopherin beta proteins (also known as importins and exportins) in macromolecular transport between the nucleus and the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells.

Qing Richard Lu, Ph.D.
Southwestern Medical Foundation Scholar in Biomedical Research
Assistant Professor, Center for Developmental Biology and
Department of Molecular Biology
Dr. Lu is seeking to understand how multipotent neural stem cells become committed and differentiated into specific neural stem cell types (especially macroglial cells) in the mammalian central nervous system.

Kim Orth, Ph.D.
W.W. Caruth, Jr. Scholar in Biomedical Research
Assistant Professor, Department of Molecular Biology
Dr. Orth is interested in the molecular mechanisms utilized by virulence factors from bacterial pathogens. Similar to viral oncogenes, bacterial virulence factors mimic or usurp key signaling factors from eukaryotic cells. How bacteria use these factors to evade and/or destroy the immune system in the infected host is the focus of her research.
