FLECKENSTEIN LAB
Dr. Fleckenstein's laboratory investigates receptor-mediated and subcellular mechanisms of damage to dopaminergic and/or serotonergic neurons in rodents, non-human primates, and humans. Our research interests include neuropharmacology, neurochemistry, and aminergic transporters.
PINZON LAB
Dr. Pinzon's laboratory works in clinical translational research with emphasis in clinical research, dental materials, and teaching. Our lab focuses on solutions to improve oral health for disadvantaged populations and aims to provide alternative avenues to address community dental, public, and global health issues.
WELLER LAB
Dr. Weller's laboratory works to define the oral microbiome associated with oral disease, including viral and bacterial profiles. The aim is to understand how pathogens within salivary gland tissue can trigger the development of systemic disease and impact long-term immunity.
