Oncology

Dr. Luo is a member of the Divisions of Experimental Pathology, Molecular and Cellular Pathology and Anatomic Molecular Pathology. He is the Director of the High Throughput Genome Center at the Department of Pathology, University of Pittsburgh, and involving collaboration of faculties from multiple departments.

Currently, Dr. Luo's research interests involve identifying new tumor suppressor genes and tumor markers in several human malignancies such as prostate cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, etc. Subsequently, we will direct our effort to evaluate the prognostic values of these genes and markers in making early diagnosis of prostate cancer and serving as drug targets for cancer prevention programs.

Medical physics and Biophysics

In 2006, Dr. Tomohiko Utsuki obtained his PhD in Health Science from Tokyo Medical and Dental University in Japan. He is currently an associate professor of biomedical engineering at Tokai University in Japan. His main research is “automatic control of physiological state for future medical treatment”, especially he developed an automatic control system of brain temperature and actually applied it to patients for clinical hypothermia in the intensive care unit of Tokyo Medical and Dental University, Medical Hospital. Currently, he constructing models of cerebral blood flow, intracranial pressure and brain temperature in consideration of them distribution, in brain tissue in order to develop an automatic integrated control system of brain's physiological state for more advanced brain resuscitation treatment.
