Dr. Greg Smith (Assistant Professor, Genetics) and Dr. Samir Kelada (Associate Professor, Genetics)

Dr. Greg Smith (Assistant Professor, Genetics) and Dr. Samir Kelada (Associate Professor, Genetics) recently published a paper titled “A new mouse model for ozone health effects research” in Environmental Health Perspectives.

Drs. Smith and Kelada’s work identifies a strain of the Collaborative Cross (CC) mouse population as a new and improved model system to study the effects of acute and repeated exposure to ambient air pollutant ozone (O3). Our population is experiencing increasing exposure to O3,  and O3 exposure is associated with adverse respiratory health outcomes. Understanding the mechanisms for how O3 exposure results in adverse pulmonary health is critical to prevention strategies and development of treatments. Experiments outlined in this paper show that the new CC mouse model overcomes some of the limitations of existing rodent models, specifically enhanced sensitivity, and more human-like thermoregulatory response. Future studies utilizing this model system provide an opportunity to characterize the mechanisms by which exposure to O3 causes adverse health effects.

Dr. Melissa Haendel (Distinguished Professor, Genetics) and Dr. Eric Hurwitz (Postdoctoral Fellow)

Dr. Eric Hurwitz, postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Dr. Melissa Haendel (Distinguished Professor, Genetics), is the first author on a titled “Unlocking the potential of wear time of a wearable device to enhance postpartum depression screening and detection: cross-sectional study”, published in the journal JMIR Formative Research.

Using the All of Us Research Program dataset, the study demonstrated a strong trend that females with postpartum depression (PPD) wore their Fitbits more than those without PPD, leading the team to hypothesize that increased Fitbit wear time among females with PPD may be attributed to hypervigilance.  Future studies will focus on combining wear time patterns with digital biomarkers such as sleep and physical activity to enhance early PPD detection using machine learning.

Gaorav Gupta, MD, PhD, Misty Good, MD, MS, and Jason Stein, PhD, were selected as Yang Family Biomedical Scholars in the eighth installment of this annual School of Medicine award.


The has named three outstanding researchers as recipients of the eighth annual Yang Family Biomedical Scholars Award!

They are: Gaorav Gupta, MD, PhD, associate professor of Radiation Oncology and member of Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center; Misty Good, MD, MS, associate professor of Pediatrics and Chief of the Division of Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine; and Jason Stein, PhD, associate professor of Genetics and member of the Neuroscience Center.

Each faculty member will receive a generous grant to be used at their discretion for biomedical research projects at the . The researchers are now members of the Yang Family Society of Biomedical Scholars, which will host its annual seminar to highlight their work later this summer. The awards were made possible through donations from Yuanqing Yang, Chairman and CEO of Lenovo, with additional financial support from Mr. To Hing Wu, an associate to Mr. Yang.

“We are extremely grateful for Mr. Yang and Mr. Wu’s continued support of our School of Medicine’s research mission,” said Blossom Damania, PhD, Vice Dean for Research at the . “Their generous support has catalyzed the research of our Yang Scholars, who are working at the forefront of the most pressing biomedical research questions.”

With the Yang Scholars program, the has established a community of dedicated, promising young tenured faculty. The award recognizes faculty that have made significant scholarly contributions to their field while also receiving national recognition for their research.

 research interest is to understand the interplay between genome integrity pathways and breast cancer initiation, progression, and response to therapy. He has made seminal contributions to the understanding of the genetic mechanisms that underlie tissue-specific metastasis of breast cancer. At , Dr. Gupta has established a vigorous research laboratory that aims to understand how DNA repair programs are reconfigured during cancer pathogenesis. The underlying focus of his work is the recognition that our normal cells routinely suffer a large number of DNA mutations, and that we have evolved an impressive array of DNA-repair mechanisms to “fix” these mutations.

Dr. Gupta’s laboratory also uncovered a mechanism by which DNA damage activates the innate immune system. His team demonstrated that this process involves direct collaboration between the canonical DNA repair protein Mre11 and the immune sensor cGAS, previously recognized for detecting viral DNA. As a physician-scientist, Dr. Gupta has successfully translated these mechanistic insights into novel therapeutic strategies for cancer patients.

Dr. Good’s laboratory is focused on the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of a devastating intestinal disease primarily affecting premature infants called necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). The long-term goal of the Good Lab is to understand the signaling pathways regulating the uncontrolled immune response in NEC and how these responses can be prevented through dietary modifications or targeted intestinal epithelial therapies. She uses a creative, multi-faceted approach in her research that combines pre-clinical animal studies, novel in vitro models, along with multi-omic analysis of patient samples.

In addition, Dr. Good has developed an innovative in vitro model of NEC, called “NEC-on-a-Chip,” using a microfluidic device, human neonatal intestinal enteroids, and the microbiome of infants with NEC as a pre-clinical model to test drugs on premature human intestine. In her translational research studies, she is actively working to identify a biomarker for NEC. To accomplish this, while Dr. Good was a junior faculty member, she founded and developed the infrastructure for the NEC Biorepository, which has grown into a ten-center collaborative effort incorporating biological samples and clinical data from premature infants across the country. Her basic and translational research utilizes a bench-to-bedside approach with multiple cutting-edge techniques.

Dr. Stein’s research explores how variations in the genome change the structure and development of the brain, and in doing so, create risk for neuropsychiatric illness. This work identified the first highly significant and replicated common variants influencing brain structure. His lab also studies genetic control of human cortical development through the identification of genetic variants that influence the expression of nearby genes.

One of the recent cutting-edge developments in the Stein lab is the establishment of cortical organoids from induced pluripotent stem cells (IPSCs) harvested from blood samples from individuals with autism and those without. These organoids are used to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms leading to brain overgrowth in individuals with autism. The Stein lab has also successfully moved into new fields of study, evidenced by the awarding of a new Alzheimer’s disease U01 grant from NIA focused on modeling gene x environment interactions using the cortical organoid model.

Dr. Wanda O’Neal (Professor, Medicine and Genetics (secondary))

Dr. Wanda O’Neal (Professor, Medicine and Genetics (secondary)) was awarded a new grant from the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for her project titled “Hypoxia signaling: a therapeutic target for cystic fibrosis lung disease”.

The proposed research focuses on three aims: Aim 1, address the hypothesis that the chromatin in basal cells is altered by chronic hypoxia. Aim 2, explore the hypothesis that HIF1A and EPAS1 regulate specific targets independent of inflammatory signaling. Understanding the differences will guide therapeutic development. A focus on small airways will increase relevance to early CF lung disease, when targeting these pathways may be most beneficial. Aim 3, explore the hypothesis that state-of-the art hypoxia-reporter mice, combined with disease models and hypoxia signaling inhibitors, will allow exploration of therapeutic targets and disease mechanisms.

Dr. Anne Thessen (Associate Professor, Genetics)

Dr. Anne Thessen (Associate Professor, Genetics) was a co-author of a recently published titled “Integrating exosomes in biomedicine”.

The Perspective article resulted from her participation in the Banbury Conference on Integrating Exposomics into the Biomedical Enterprise held in December 2023.  The conference attendees crafted an operational definition of exposomics and proposed the inclusion of this data in biomedical research studies.  From the paper “the exposome is posited as an integrated compilation of all physical, chemical, biological, and (psycho) social influences that “impact biology””.  The authors proposed that gaps in our understanding of human health and disease can be filled by integrating exposomics.
