​​Justin Parreno, Assistant Professor of Biology, leads a multidisciplinary group that investigates biomechanical signaling pathways in Musculoskeletal and Ocular Disease Processes. He has received a $2.4 million R01 grant from the National Institutes of Health in collaboration with Dawn Elliott in Biomedical Engineering, to study how mechanical overloading of tendons leads to chronic tissue degeneration and clinical disorders including tendinopathy or tendon rupture, conditions affecting nearly a third of physically active individuals.​

​Lisha Shao, Assistant Professor of Biology, leads a group investigating the genetic and neural mechanisms of reward. She has received a $1.98 million R35 grant from the National Institutes of Health to study the mechanisms that underpin sexual reward in the brain of female Drosophila, which will advance our understanding of the rewarding aspect of mating behavior and provide novel insights into fundamental principles for the encoding and regulation of natural reward.​
