| This lab studies the role of Chlamydia pneumoniae in atherosclerosis. Research has shown that persistent infections with this unusual microorganism leads to increased risk for atherosclerosis. Impacts on human cells after infection are examined, with the goal of describing the cascade of events that occur. | |
BMS: Lyme Borreliosis Laboratory |

Director: Wail Hassan, Ph.D., M(ASCP)CM Email: hassanw@uwm.edu |
| This laboratory examines the molecular epidemiology and pathogenesis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Specifically, this laboratory compares survival levels in the presence of reactive oxygen and nitrogen inermediates among clinical Mtb isolates. In addition, the laboratory uses state-of-the-art molecular methods to identify novel Mtb virulence factors involved in the organisms ability to survive within the macrophage. | |
BMS: Multiple Sclerosis Laboratory |
|
| 2400 E. Hartford Ave. Enderis Hall, Room B73a Milwaukee, WI 53211 Phone: (414) 229-3812 |
Director: Jeri-Anne Lyons, Ph.D. E-mail: jlyons@uwm.edu |
 This laboratory studies the imunopathogenesis of multiple sclerosis. It uses a clever mouse model to study the effects of M.S. and the role of the immune system in the progression of the disease. |

|
| 2400 E. Hartford Ave. Enderis Hall, Room B76 Milwaukee, WI 53211 Phone: (414) 229-5405 |
Director: Janis Eells, Ph.D. E-mail: jeells@uwm.edu |
| Current research of this laboratory works with Molecular toxicology, investigating the role of toxic agents on the optic nerve, concentrating on methanol. Research has utilized a unique light treatment to partially alleviate the effects of nerve damage. The role of mitochondria in damage and recovery is of special concern. | |
