Research Focus: Grounded in the translational research approach, I have focused on research aimed at enhancing the adoption of best practices in the community, for patients, as well as for providers. Primarily, this focus has been on patient safety and quality in urban and rural areas. Population-based research, also an interest of mine, is commonly a part of these translational research studies. My technology background and skills are aligned with studying the installation and use of electronic health record (EHR) systems and the associated impact on user experiences, specifically nurses. This research supports the understanding of user experiences and mitigation of potential issues such as moral distress. In 2013 via a grant-funded project, I became interested in the use of telehealth (telemedicine, remote patient monitoring, and mobile health) for the delivery of patient care and have also studied in that area.

Research Focus: My research focuses are on: 1) quantitative quality indicators of nursing education, 2) outcomes research in clinical and medical settings, and 3) analyses of population-based survey health databases. My research in nursing education involves identifying factors associated with persistence in our undergraduate and graduate programs within the CONHI using regression modeling. My research in medical settings involves identifying factors associated with treatment success and extended survival using regression models and survival analysis. My research with survey health databases involves the generation of weighted estimates to report health statistics on the national level.

Research Focus: : My research focuses on the white blood cell response to skeletal muscle trauma. I have studied (a) factors influencing this response, and (b) the interaction between the spleen and muscle trauma. I am also interested in the relation between muscle trauma and the biology of aging. The long-term goal is to identify treatments that can expedite a timely recovery after muscle trauma.
Research Focus: My research focuses on symptom management (particularly, dyspnea), breathing pattern, functional capacity, quality of life, use of health care utilization, and underlying bio-physiological mechanisms of diaphragmatic breathing training (i.e., deep and slow breathing training) to reduce dyspnea and improve functional capacity (e.g., cardiac baroreflex sensitivity, pulse wave velocity, etc.) in patients with heart failure or long COVID.

Jon Weidanz, PhD
Professor; Associate Vice President for Research
Department of Kinesiology
Research Focus: For more than 20 years my laboratory has been interested in identifying tumor-specific peptides presented by the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system for use as potential targets for immunotherapy. As part of this focus, my laboratory developed methods to discover antibodies that recognize specific peptide/HLA complexes that we dubbed as T-cell receptor mimicking (TCRm) antibodies. These molecules share the binding selectivity traits of T-cell receptors while retaining the positive attributes of antibodies. TCRms are highly valued as research tools and my group has used them extensively to study antigen presentation in tumor cells. Additionally, my laboratory has been active in research and development of immunotherapeutic agents including TCRm antibodies, soluble T-cell receptors, and multifunctional/multispecific protein-based molecules for targeting HLA loaded with cancer specific peptides. These earlier interests led to our most recent project, the discovery of a TCRm, EXX-1, to Qa-1b/Qdm peptide complex, the ligand for NKG2A/CD94 inhibitory receptor. The NKG2A/Qa-1b (HLA-E ortholog) axis is a recently discovered immune checkpoint that suppresses the cytolytic function of NK cells and CD8+ T-cells in the tumor microenvironment. We have shown that EXX-1 is specific for the Qa-1b/Qdm peptide complex and enhances the anti-tumor response against A20 and CT26 syngeneic tumors in mice. In the A20 tumor models, EXX-1 treatment has led to complete remission is ~40% of mice when used as a single agent. Next steps planned are to explore ways of enhancing the anti-tumor response of our immune checkpoint antibody. We plan to evaluate EXX-1 in combination with cancer vaccines, oncolytic viruses, other immune checkpoint blocking antibodies and with individual gene products derived from the host mouse microbiome. These studies are being performed using syngeneic tumor models.
