Natural immunity to chlamydial genital tract infection in women Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) continues to pose great risk to the reproductive health of women worldwide. Its potentially devastating long-term sequelae can persist throughout a woman’s reproductive years. PID occurs when sexually transmitted infections ascend from the cervix to the uterus...

My laboratory studies systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a heterogeneous autoimmune disease associated with tissue damage in skin, kidneys, lung, heart, brain, and vasculature. Murine and human studies in my laboratory identified a lysosome defect in multiple hematopoietic cell types in a murine model of lupus (MRL/lpr), and in active SLE...

The McCauley Lab is interested in how the food we eat changes our physiology. Rare, nutrient sensing cells in the intestine called enteroendocrine cells secrete hormones in response to environmental cues that orchestrate systemic metabolism. How these cells regulate their neighbors in the gut is not well understood. We use...

The research in our group is focused on HIV pathogenesis and vaccine testing, with a special interest in pediatric HIV. To inform vaccine development, we are pursuing studies aimed at a deeper understanding of postnatal immune development in infants to optimize early life vaccine strategies. Our research includes both basic...

Daniel Moseley Co-Directs the UNC Psychiatry, Philosophy and Mental Health Program, which hosts the Carolina Seminar on Philosophy, Ethics and Mental Health and the annual UNC Philosophy and Psychiatry Conference. He is also a Faculty Associate in the UNC Center for Bioethics and a Lead Consultant in the Hospital Ethics...

My research involves understanding the regulation of visual signaling pathways in the vertebrate retina using mice and zebrafish as model organisms. In the past 20 years we have discovered what was a novel G protein-coupled receptor kinase, GRK7, and determined that it is found specifically in cones of the vertebrate...

  Dr. Bulik’s research teams at UNC (Center of Excellence for Eating Disorders-CEED) and Karolinska Institutet (Centre for Eating Disorders Innovation-CEDI) are dedicated to deepening our understanding of the underlying biology and genetics of eating disorders and to advancing the evidence base for the treatment of these illnesses. As founder...
