Specializations

Mental Health & Neuropsychiatric Disorders

Focus on conditions that affect cognition, mood, and behavior, including Major Depressive Disorder, Schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Dementia with Lewy Bodies.

  • Neurodegenerative disease therapeutics
  • Psychiatric symptom management
  • Addiction comorbidity interventions
  • Cognitive impairment mitigation

Research integrates psychiatric care with addiction services within the Division of mental health and addiction.

Metabolic & Liver Disease

Investigation of metabolic risk factors and progressive liver pathology such as Non‑Alcoholic Steatohepatitis, Obesity, Type 2 diabetes and Dyslipidemia.

  • Insulin resistance pathway targeting
  • Fibrosis progression mitigation
  • Metabolic syndrome intervention strategies
  • Liver inflammation control

Collaboration with hepatology units supports translational studies on liver health.

Cardiovascular & Thrombotic Disorders

Targeted research on arterial disease, arrhythmias, and clotting disorders including Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease, Atrial fibrillation, Ischemic stroke and Venous thromboembolism.

  • Anticoagulation strategy evaluation
  • Plaque stabilization approaches
  • Stroke prevention protocols
  • Heart failure management pathways

Studies often incorporate patients with chronic kidney disease to assess combined risk profiles.

Oncology & Hematologic Malignancies

Broad engagement with solid tumors and blood cancers across disease stages, encompassing Breast cancer, Non‑Small Cell Lung Cancer, Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Diffuse Large B‑Cell Lymphoma.

  • Targeted therapy evaluation
  • Immunotherapy combination trials
  • Molecular marker‑driven study designs
  • Therapeutic resistance mechanism analysis

Emphasis on precision medicine integrates genomic profiling into treatment planning.

Respiratory & Immune‑Mediated Diseases

Study of chronic lung conditions and systemic immune disorders such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Eosinophilic Asthma, Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis and Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

  • Airway inflammation modulation
  • Fibrotic disease treatment strategies
  • Autoimmune pathway targeting
  • Microbiome‑immune interaction research

Integration with mental health research addresses comorbid psychiatric aspects of chronic respiratory and immune diseases.
