Research in the Redonda Miller Lab is focused on women’s health, including osteoporosis and men...opause, and medical education. We're also interested in physician practice issues. view more

Our scientists pursue out-of-the-box approaches at the very edge of knowledge to:
1) Elucidat...e the molecular/cellular/physiological landscapes of ovarian and uterine cancers.
2) Understand the earliest events in their development and mechanisms of tumor evolution/dormancy and drug resistance.
3) Deliver promises for better prevention, detection and treatment to women who have diseases or are at an increased risk to have these cancers. view more

The Robert Wise Lab conducts clinical trials to study chronic obstructive lung diseases (COPD).... We investigate inhaled corticosteroids in patients with mild to moderate COPD and the effectiveness of anti-inflammatories in allowing lung growth in mild to moderate asthmatic children. Our research includes exploring the efficacy of various treatments for asthmatic women who are pregnant and of lung-volume reduction surgery for emphysema patients. We also conduct studies of the clinical epidemiology, pathobiology and treatment of interstitial lung disease in patients with scleroderma. view more

Research in the Ruth Faden Lab focuses on biomedical ethics and health policy. Our specific are...as of interest include justice theory; national and global challenges in learning health care systems, health-system design and priority setting; access global investments benefits in biomedical research; and ethical challenges in biomedical science and women’s health. view more

Research in the Howard and Georgeanna Seegar Jones Reproductive Endocrinology Lab supports a br...oad interest in reproductive conditions, but has a particular focus on endometriosis, uterine fibroids, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and genes causing infertility. PCOS and uterine fibroids are among the most prevalent conditions leading to infertility and diseases in women, but both remain poorly understood. Studying these areas may lead to the development of new treatments or preventative therapies. view more

Dr. Wu leads a multi-disciplinary team with collaborators from the Bloomberg School of Public H...ealth, JHU Whiting School of Engineering, and JHU Krieger School of Arts and Sciences. She conducts ongoing investigations with the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study and Women’s Inter-agency Health Study. Her lab’s goals are to develop, implement, and validate novel imaging-based metrics of cardiac structure and function to improve risk prediction and stratification at the individual patient-level.

Research Focuses:

Predictors of Sudden Cardiac Death by Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Subclinical myocardial disease in people living with HIV
Individualized risk prediction
Cardiac structural and mechanical modeling view more
