Juan Dominguez-Bendala, Ph.D.
Research Associate Professor of Diabetes Research Institute/Surgery and Cell Biology
The main lines of research at my laboratory revolve around the development of regenerative strategies for type 1 diabetes, which include islet regeneration, reprogramming/transdifferentiation andstem celldifferentiation into insulin-producing beta cells. In the context of the latter, we haveconducted seminal studieson the use of protein transduction and the role of oxygenation on pancreatic endocrinedevelopment. Our lab was among the first to conduct research on human embryonic stem cells at the University of Miami.

Pantelis Tsoulfas, M.D.
Associate Professor, Neurological Surgery and Cell Biology
"Our areas of research center on the development of the nervous system, neurotrophin signaling in neural cells and repair of the CNS after spinal cord injury. For the development of nervous system we try to understand how mitogenic factors influence cell numbers and how cell fates are linked to specific transcriptional networks. We use live fluorescent imaging techniques to study neurotrophin signaling. For spinal cord injury repair strategies, we utilize modified neurotrophins and grafting of CNS derived cells. We integrate several approaches including Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Genetics and Imaging techniques."
