Research Interest: Fetal-neonatal nutrition and prevention of chronic diseases in adults such as obesity, diabetes and metabolic syndrome

Research Interest: Exposure assessment of water- and air-borne contaminants- Etiology, triggers, epigenetics, and prevention of pediatric asthma  prevention of key residential and occupational hazards  Long-term sequelae of chronic infectious diseases

Research Interest:  Osseointegration of Dental Implants / Surface modification / Bone graft Immunology of Periodontal Disease, Periodontal Disease and Systemic Conditions, Diabetes Mellitus and Periodontal Disease

Research Interest: Molecular Biology, Microbiology, recombinant DNA technology and biochemical methodologies.

Research Interest: My research interest is in the area of cardiovascular and renal disease. I have attached the requested information below

Research Interest: He is a Pediatric Nephrologist and a leading scientist in clinical studies in China especially for IgA nephropathy and nephritic syndrome in children. He also conducted basic research in regard to the investigation of the role of immunological aspects in kidney diseases including nephritic syndrome and diabetic nephropathy.

Research Interest: As a professional with intensive interdisciplinary backgrounds, his research goals are to understand the human diseases mechanisms through studying the clinical relevant animal models, in the fields of Neuroscience, Oncology, Orthopedics, Molecular Immunology/Hematology, Pathology, Genomics/ Genetics and Stem cells.  Based on his research he has received several awards and honors, such as: Distinguished service award from University of Pennsylvania. He has authored more than 25 research articles, 2 books/chapters and 4 reviews

Research Interest: Dr Mei's research expertise is in biofilms and biomaterials. His recent research activities are mainly focused on the mechanism and prevention of bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation on dental materials.

He has measured the adhesion forces between living bacteria and orthodontic materials using atomic force microscopy at a nano-level, and decoupled the bacterial adhesion forces into specific and non-specific forces. In addition, he has investigated measures for preventing biofilm formation using quaternary ammonium compounds. He developed a novel contact-killing surface by incorporating quaternary ammonium compounds into composite resin and studied its efficacy of killing the adhered bacteria and its bio-safety for human cells.

His other interests include randomized controlled trials (RCT) and evidence-based dentistry. He has investigated clinical methods for enhancing oral hygiene in patients wearing fixed orthodontic appliances.

Research Interest: Transplantation, transplant immunology, artificial organs.

Research Interest: The focus of my research work is to examine the molecular mechanisms of autophagy, apoptosis, angiogenesis and metastasis, and develop novel drugs for the treatment and prevention of various cancers.

Research Interest: Another field of interest are the neurological manifestations linked to HTLV-1 and their pathogenesis. Dr Louboutin is currently in Jamaica trying to get a better understanding of the physiopathology of tropical spastic paraparesis/HTLV-1-associated myelopathy (TSP/HAM). The current collaboration with the Gene Therapy Program of the University of Pennsylvania is focused on gene therapy approach in different neurodegenerative disorders, (more particularly in lysosomal diseases, i.e., mucopolysaccharidosis, MPS).  Finally, Dr Louboutin is involved in cell therapy using stem cells in different tissues (i.e., bone marrow stem cells, skeletal muscle, Central Nervous System). This approach emphasizes the interaction with regenerative medicine in a translational context. Intramarrow gene delivery of SV40-derived vectors downregulating CCR5 resulted in the reduction of excitotoxin-induced seizures and their harmful consequences. These results emphasize the role of CCR5 in the immune-mediated process underlying some forms of epilepsy. He is the author of more than 80 papers in peer-reviewed journals and more than 10 book chapters
