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: Magnetic Resonance Imaging/Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy/Diffusion Tensor Imaging Osteoporosis

Research Interest: Research area of interest, Cardiovascular disease,Electrophysiology, Pacemaker, ICD and CRT therapy, Metabolic syndrome, Bidirectional effect of CVD and CKD

Research Interest: My area of interest is rheumatology and orthopedics, specifically osteoarthritis, falls, fractures.

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

Research Interest: His research has included enzyme catalase.

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

Research interest: Biomaterials, Drug delivery, Biomechanics of hypertensive cerebellar hemorrhage.

Research Interest: My research interest is "autonomic dysfunction in vitamin B12 deficiency". My suugestion would be to be very selective in accepting images. "Clinical Image" section of NEJM is a good example to follow.

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: Related to the role of therapy with high-dose furosemide and small-volume hypertonic saline therapy and refractory heart failure and refractory ascites , the role of the salt load in the acute characterize and stratify patients with congestive heart failure after therapy with high doses of furosemide and small volumes of hypertonic saline,the atherosclerosis as inflammatory disease and characterization of the diabetic foot as risk markers cardiovascolare.Ulteriori interests are represented finally by Anderson-Fabry disease , and in particular of its role as risk factor of cryptogenic stroke over over which the search for new mutations in the gene for alpha- Galactosidase

Research Interest:  Genomics, proteomics and inflammatory aspects of human breast cancer and chronic diseases.
