Centers, Institutes & Labs

Current research in the Segal laboratory centers on understanding how myofibers and microvessels interact during regeneration and reinnervation following acute injury. Complementary studies center on understanding how vascular smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells of the vascular wall develop resilience to oxidative stress.

The Missouri Orthopaedic Bioskills Lab is the primary clinical anatomy and surgical simulation training site for the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. The lab provides mentored, hands-on cadaveric training that is critical to patient safety and effective surgical practice.

The Mizzou OneHealth Biorepository is a University of Missouri School of Medicine-approved facility that provides normal and pathologic tissue samples and ancillary processing services. The biorepository was established to standardize collections and, in return, provide high-quality tissue for IRB-approved biomedical research projects.

The Mizzou Sleep Research Lab investigates the mechanisms underlying normal and pathological sleep, the link between sleep and cognition, the daily variability inherent in sleep and sleep-related behaviors and the efficacy and effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral interventions to treat insomnia in diverse populations.

At the Lab for Narrative Medicine and Health Innovation, we believe that stories have the power to heal and shift the way we think, act and connect with others in our society.

The Pulmonary Imaging Research Lab investigates pulmonary structure-function relationships using various medical imaging modalities such as CT, proton MRI, and hyperpolarized noble gas MRI of the lung.

The Rural Health Research Center at the University of Missouri School of Medicine is dedicated to improving community health in rural Missouri by increasing health research, especially among rural populations.

The Russell D. and Mary B. Shelden Clinical Simulation Center offers programs to improve patient care and safety.

The goal of the Singh lab is to find new ways to prevent and treat ocular infectious diseases and glaucoma that cause blindness.

The Subramanian Lab’s research is dedicated to identifying efficient therapeutic targets for the complex life-threatening sexually dimorphic aortic vascular disease: abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). AAA is an asymptomatic, permanent dilation of abdominal aorta which can cause death by aortic rupture.
