Interests: Health Services Research; Pediatrics; Physician workforce issues
Descriptive Phrases: The innovation of pediatric specialty clinicians has extended the lives of children with complex medical needs, neurological impairment, and technology dependence. However, our systems of care have diffulty meeting the complex needs of this emerging population. Challenges lie in coordination of care through a vast contiuum that includes hospital systems, primary care, home health, etc. My interests lie in defining this population of patients; studying their needs on a clinical and systems level, and advocating for quality improvement. A new area of focus is the potential for electronic health information exchange, now a national priority, to faciliate the coordination of care for these patients.

Phone: 312-503-2628
Interests: Biochemistry: Proteins; Cell Biology; Extracellular Matrix
Descriptive Phrases: Dentin phosphophoryn (DPP), the major noncollagenous protein of tooth dentin matrix is synthesized as dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) by the mesenchyme-derived odontoblasts. We have found a spatio-temporal expression during mouse embryonic development in cells of epithelial origin. At day-13 of embryonic gestation, DPP was localized to the enamel organ at the developing tooth cap stage, with heaviest immuno-histochemical staining at the oral ectoderm but was also prominent in the inner enamel epithelium. Interestingly, at the same embryonic stage, DPP was also expressed in the ureteric bud branches of the metanephric kidney and in the alveolar epithelial buds of the developing lung. No expression was seen in the mesenchymal component of either organ. Interestingly inclusion of anti-DPP antibodies in E-13 organ cultures of kidneys harvested from wild type mice, altered ureteric bud morphogenesis and caused looseness of the metanephric mesenchyme. These findings suggest that besides its role in mineralization of the dentin, DPP modulates epithelial-mesenchymal interactions in meristic tissues during embryonic development. Another focus in our laboratory has been studies directed towards understanding the mechanism of mineralization in vertebrate tissues such as bone and tooth and in sea urchin tooth in invertebrates and the role of extracellular constituents of connective tissue in this complex process. The acidic protein constituent part of extracellular matrix has been implicated in mineral deposition but the precise series of molecular reaction mechanism remains undefined. In invertebrate systems, where the mineral part is calcite or aragonite the mechanisms of molecular calcification remains even much less understood compared to vertebrates where mineral deposition is chiefly calcium hydroxyapatite. We are studying whether it is the nature of the protein or environment that determines whether we get Calcium Carbonate or Calcium Phosphate crystals

Descriptive Phrases: My research focuses on the utilization of agent-based modeling for multi-scale modeling of acute inflammation. Agent levels include cells and molecules, with the goal of simulating organ- and organism-level behaviors from these generative mechanisms. While the focus of my models have primarily been on the pathophysiology of sepsis and multiple organ failure, in a more general sense I am interested in using agent-based modeling as a means of dynamic knowledge representation to augment the biomedical research process. With respect to acute inflammation, the ubiquitousness of the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms suggest the application of this methodology to such area as oncogenesis, transplant immunology/rejection, autoimmune disease, wound healing/scarring, atherosclerosis and aging. I am currently using NetLogo as my primary agent-based modeling platform, but am involved with the development of SPARK (Simple Platform for Agent-based Representation of Knowledge http://www.pitt.edu/~cirm/spark/ ) currently being done at the University of Pittsburgh. I am also interested in automated text analysis/information extraction from biomedical texts, formal knowledge representation in biomedicine and the development of methods for evolving biomedical ontologies. These goals form a "front-end" to high-level modeling tools (such as MetaABM http://www.metascapeabm.com/ ) and are intended to facilitate the ability for biomedical knowledge to be represented, communicated and evaluated via executable models. I am also involved in projects directed at developing methods to execute ABMs on massively parallel computing platforms. I believe this is a vital development necessary for true, multi-scale, biologically relevant simulation.

Descriptive Phrases: The Barrett lab investigates mechanisms of epithelial stem cell activation in mouse and human models of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Areas of interest include studying the cooperation between phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and Wnt in activating beta catenin signaling (He et al Nat Gen 2007). We find that intestinal inflammation increases PI3K-activated beta catenin in intestinal epithelial progenitor and stem cell populations. We propose that this pathway will be a novel target in strategies for chemoprevention (e.g. colitis-induced cancer) and recovery from radiation-induced stem cell injury (e.g. after nuclear attack). In all projects of the lab we strive to have strong translational components by testing lab-generated hypotheses in patient material.

Descriptive Phrases: The research in my lab is centered on the “espins,” a novel family of multifunctional actin-bundling proteins, and the elucidation of their roles in the organization and function of the actin cytoskeleton of hair cell stereocilia and sensory cell microvilli. Espins are produced in multiple isoforms from a single gene. They are present at high concentration in the parallel actin bundle of hair cell stereocilia and are the target of deafness mutations in mice and humans. For example, the jerker mutation in the espin gene of mice causes recessive hereditary deafness and vestibular dysfunction accompanied by an abnormal shortening of hair cell stereocilia. Espins are also present at high concentration in the microvilli of taste receptor cells, solitary chemoreceptor cells, vomeronasal sensory neurons and Merkel cells, suggesting that these proteins play important, general roles in the microvillar projections of vertebrate sensory cells. Unlike other actin-bundling proteins found in the microvilli and stereocilia of vertebrates, espins are potent actin-bundling proteins that are not inhibited by calcium ion. In cells, espins efficiently elongate parallel actin bundles and, thereby, help determine the steady-state length of microvilli and stereocilia. Espins bind actin monomer via their Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome protein homology 2 (WH2) domain in vitro and in vivo andcan assemble actin bundles in cells. Certain espin isoforms can also bind phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, profilins or SH3 proteins. These biological activities distinguish espins from other actin-bundling proteins and may make them especially well-suited to sensory cells.

Descriptive Phrases: The quality of parent-child relationships during infancy has long-term and significant implications for a child's healthy adaptation. Primary care pediatricians have unique opportunities to support early family relationships because of their repeated encounters with families for well child care. My research and teaching interests have been focused on how emerging parent-infant relationships can be supported by pediatricians and on the impact that the quality of those relationships can have on the practice of primary care pediatrics. In the initial phase of my research, I developed and validated a research protocol for observing and understanding meaningful patterns of interaction that occur between parents and infants during well child visits. Next, I modified the observational system for clinical use, integrated it into Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics training for pediatric residents and studied its influence on recognition, guidance and documentation in well child care visits. My present interests revolve around exploring mechanisms by which the parent-child relationship may contribute to aspects of child health and behavior that are integral to the provision of comprehensive pediatric primary care. I am currently exploring whether there are pathways that include parent-child relationship quality that predict early childhood obesity. I hope this research will lead to identifying families with children at-risk for early obesity who might benefit from early intervention targeting parent-child interactions, parental sensitivity to infant cues and, more broadly, parent-child relationships in lieu of, or in addition to, traditional interventions for obesity.
