Dr. Dayton’s research focus is developing and applying ultrasound in conjunction with contrast agents and/or acoustically active drug delivery vehicles for advanced ultrasound imaging and targeted therapeutics. Specific tools developed in the Dayton lab which may be of interest to collaborators include: high-resolution microvascular imaging, biomarker imaging, blood flow imaging,...

My research interests include the modeling, optimization, and control of functional electrical stimulation (FES), hybrid exoskeletons that combine FES and a powered exoskeleton. One of the ongoing projects is on assisting people with spinal cord injury to stand-up and walk. Sharma research group also uses ultrasound imaging-derived sensing signals to...

The Gamcsik laboratory studies the metabolic dynamics in human disease with our main focus on the role the antioxidant glutathione (GSH) and associated pathways play in the initiation, progression and treatment of cancer. Metabolic dynamics reflect tissue function that results from the net contribution of all the genes, proteins and...

During normal respiration, thousands of bacteria and other airborne irritants are inhaled every hour. Despite this constant intake of pathogens, the body is able to maintain sterility in the airways below the larynx. The task of accomplishing this feat falls to the protect airway surface liquid layer, a two-phase liquid...

I study how the intestinal epithelium regulates stem cell activity with a focus on cell cycle and metabolic regulation. Models include primary human and mouse 2D monolayers and 3D organoids in vitro and mouse in vivo genetic models. I also have extensive experience in stem cells and injury response in...

My research focus is education research. One of my research interests is in innovative approaches to graduate medical education, such as the flipped classroom. Additionally, I have developed programs that utilize family and friends to improve the well-being of healthcare providers, including medical students, residents, and attending physicians.

Nurse practitioner at UNC Maternal Fetal Medicine specializing in care of women with high risk pregnancy. Areas of interest include diabetes, hypertension, obesity and preterm birth prevention.

My passion lies in being a clinician-educator. Upon reflecting on the experiences that I have had in my medical training, I realized that what drives me to be the best teacher possible is being able to provide significant and impactful educational experiences unlike those that I have had myself. Irrespective...

My clinical focus is optimizing quality of life, independence, and function in children with disabilities and developmental delay. Examples of patients I see clinically include children with cerebral palsy, brain injury, spinal cord injury, neuro-oncology related deficits, neuromuscular disease, developmental delay, and limb difference.

I am a generalist OB-GYN physician. I practice in Chapel Hill, but also see GYN patients in Chatham County in Siler City. I have a particular interest in GYN ultrasounds and have a joint appointment with the Department of Radiology to interpret these scans.
