Results for Craniosynostosis

Dr. Chen's research focuses on traumatic brain injury (TBI), multimodal neuromonitoring, and neurovascular disorders. She is interested in non-invasive forms of neuromonitoring thus leading to research efforts identifying reliable non-invasive methods for detecting intracranial hypertension in multiple disease processes including TBI and craniosynostosis.

Dr. Lefebvre investigates the genetic mechanisms that generate the diversity of cell types composing the body. Her emphasis is on deciphering how proteins called SOX transcription factors specify stem cells and highly specialized cells in the skeleton, how changes in these factors cause skeletal diseases, and how these factors also control other processes, including brain development and intellectual disability diseases.
