Links among outcomes, activity, and fear in those with ankle instability

to examine the association between injury-related fear with clinical outcomes (i.e., performance-based and patient-based) and physical activity levels (i.e. moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA)) in patients with CAI.

Developing Resources to Enhance Understanding of CAR-T Therapy for Lupus and Autoimmune Diseases 

Despite the ground-breaking benefits and scientific advancements in Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR-T) cell therapy, there are significant challenges for CAR-T clinical trials in diseases outside of cancer. These barriers include lack of awareness and knowledge, apprehension and hesitation amongst patients and healthcare providers, logistical and financial concerns, and inequitable access to this new therapy. This project aims to address these challenges by developing innovative strategies to enhance access to participation in CAR-T clinical trials in lupus and autoimmune diseases. The insights and strategies developed from this work will be used to inform and advance the reach, relevance, and implementation of innovative strategies to advance opportunity and accessibility for cell-based therapy trials in other disease states, beyond the example of lupus and autoimmune diseases.

Antidepressant mobile app usability study

The purpose of this study is to test how easy it is for people to use a mobile app we created. The app shows fake health data from smartwatches/fitness trackers (like Fitbit) to help doctors and patients track how well antidepressant medications are working. We want to see if people can easily understand and use the app before we test it in future medical research settings.

Improving Physical Activity and Balance after Total Knee Replacement

The purpose of this research study is to compare how well two types of physical therapy (PT) programs work for people who have recently had total knee replacement (TKR). One program is typical postoperative PT. The other program is typical postoperative PT with additional balance training and physical activity coaching. By doing this study, we hope to provide people who have TKR in the future, as well as their health care providers, with information that will help people following TKR to increase their physical activity and improve their walking mechanics after TKR.

The Carolina Head and Neck Cancer Study

The goal of the study is to determine why some men and women get certain types of head and neck (mouth or throat) cancer, and others do not. If we can identify underlying causes of head and neck cancer, we can determine ways to prevent it from occurring. Collection and analysis of medical records and tumor biology may also lead to more effective treatments and lower the death rate from this disease.

Pediatric Heart Transplant Study Registry

Now called the Pediatric Heart Transplant Society (PHTS), the Pediatric Heart Transplant Study Registry was established in 1993 by a group of physicians who wanted to improve the lives of children who needed a heart transplant. The primary purposes of the organization was to establish and maintain a prospective, event driven database for heart transplantation, to encourage and stimulate basic and clinical research in the field of pediatric heart transplantation, and to promote new therapeutic strategies. The ultimate goal was to improve the lives of pediatric heart transplant recipients.

A study to test if the addition of Inotuzumab Ozogamicin (InO) to standard chemotherapy treatment in patients diagnosed with National Cancer Institute (NCI) High-Risk (HR) B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL) or NCI Standard-Risk (SR) B- ALL with high risk features improves outcomes.

To find out if the addition of 2 blocks of inotuzumab ozogamicin to the standard chemotherapy regimen will improve outcomes in children and young adults with High-Risk (HR) B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL).

Exploring Undergraduates' Learning While Using Generative AI

The purpose of the study is to investigate how undergraduate students self-regulate their learning while using generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT. Studies show that self-regulated learning plays a critical role in digital learning, which suggests it is likely critical for learning with generative AI. However, because of the rapid integration and advancement of generative AI, there is a lack of clarity on whether generative AI enhances or hinders self-regulated learning. This study directly investigates this tension by capturing how learners use, or fail to use, self-regulated learning when using generative AI.
