Kansas, Geoffrey S
Associate Professor of Microbiology-Immunology
Bio
My laboratory is interested in signaling mechanisms which control T helper cell differentiation and traffic. We are currently focused on two areas: functions of p38 MAP kinases (MAPK) and the role of ... [more]
Kearney, Jennifer A
Associate Professor of Pharmacology
Bio
Research in my laboratory is focused on studying genetic modifiers that influence the clinical severity of epilepsy. Variable expressivity is a common feature in patients with epilepsy caused by sodiu... [more]
Kessler, John A
Professor of Neurology (Comprehensive Neurology) and Pharmacology
Bio
Our laboratory investigates stem cell biology and approaches to regeneration of the damaged or diseased nervous system. I direct the Northwestern University Stem Cell Institute and I established a hES... [more]
Kim, Kwang-Youn A
Associate Professor of Preventive Medicine (Biostatistics)
Bio
Dr. Kim's research interests involve statistical problems that arise in genetics and genomics research. He is particularly interested in developing statistical methods and computational tools to ident... [more]
Klumpp, David J
Professor of Urology and Microbiology-Immunology
Bio
I received a Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and Cell Biology from Northwestern University in 1994, studying retinal neuron physiology. After postdoctoral studies in HPV pathogenesis and epit... [more]
Kohtz, Jhumku D
Research Professor of Pediatrics (Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics)
Bio
I have had a long-standing interest in studying RNA regulatory mechanisms in development. My lab has focused on studying the mechanism of action of Evfs, novel long non-coding RNAs that regulate trans... [more]
Kopp, Peter A
Adjunct Professor of Medicine (Endocrinology)
Bio
Dr. Kopp’s research interests focus primarily on the genetic basis of endocrine disorders, in particular inborn errors of thyroid development and thyroid hormone synthesis, as well as disorders of wat... [more]
Krainc, Dimitri
Professor of Neurology (Movement Disorders), Neurological Surgery and Physiology
Bio
The overarching goal of our scientific work has been to define key molecular pathways in the pathogenesis of neurodegeneration and to uncover novel targets for therapeutic development. We have focused... [more]
Kume, Tsutomu
Professor of Medicine (Cardiology), Ophthalmology and Pharmacology
Bio
Dr. Kume’s research interests focus on cardiovascular development, cardiovascular stem/progenitor cells, and angiogenesis. Current studies include the role of Foxc transcription factors in cardiovascu... [more]
