 Dr. Griguer's laboratory research focuses on mechanistic studies of glioma initiation and progression, especially the contributions from the mitochondria. Over the past 10 years, as PI on several university- and NIH-funded grants, I laid the ground work in our understanding on how mitochondria play an essential role in tumor chemo-resistance and survival in glioma.

Dr. Coleman focuses his oxidative stress and mitochondrial research expertise on trying to describe redox metabolic features of articular chondrocytes that are critical to maintaining healthy articular cartilage under normal loading conditions but play a role in pathology under severe mechanical loads. Dr. Coleman has conducted substantial  translational work with a focus on pathogenesis as a result of mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress.
