Fall 2025

Not long after the University of Illinois College of Medicine Rockford was founded in 1971, research became an integral part of the campus. From community-based health research to basic science and clinical studies, the college has made research a part of its mission.

Community research demonstrates impact

The college’s first dean, Dr. Robert Evans, believed a new medical school in a city like Rockford, with no existing medical school or residency training programs, should collect data on the health care systems of the community to serve as a baseline against which to measure changes attributable to the school. This “Impact Study” led to the establishment of the Center for Community Health Research, which was led by Joel B. Cowen, MA. The study consisted of a survey of a sample of the community population to determine the source and nature of their health care, a description of the physician population and the hospital and outpatient care services and a review of how the health care dollar circulated within the community.¹

UICOMR’s first dean, Dr. Robert Evans, began a lasting legacy of community-based research on the campus.

This unit, which had five researchers and three support staff who were all supported by the college’s state budget, was created to assess the impact of the new medical school and support institutional planning. It evolved over the next 40 years under Cowen to have new names such as Health Systems Research and the Division of Health Policy and Social Science Research, and expanded to include external consulting and contract-based research partnerships with local, state and national organizations interested in health research and evaluation.

Today, the Division of Health Research and Evaluation resides within the UICOMR Department of Family and Community Medicine and engages in innovative and diverse research to advance the health of individuals, families and rural communities. The HRE Team, led by Manorama Khare, PhD, includes four faculty researchers, seven researchers and three support staff. The team conducts a wide scope of community-based research in such areas as rural health, women’s health, mental health, chronic disease prevention and the food environment, as well as broad-based community assessments and program evaluations. Other grants and research projects for the Department of Family and Community Medicine are coordinated through HRE.

Scientific research builds better health from the bench

With the establishment of the Department of Biomedical Sciences in 1977, UICOMR began a long legacy of research in the basic sciences.

Dean Clifford Grulee named Bernard Salafsky, PhD, a professor of pharmacology, to head the department. The fourth, fifth and sixth floors of the newly completed East Building on campus were dedicated to laboratory space for Salafsky and his work on tropical parasites and tick epidemiology and prevention and the newly recruited faculty who focused mainly on pharmacology.¹ The increased research activity necessitated an animal care facility, which was under the care of Dr. Joseph Orthoefer, a veterinarian and former director of the Winnebago County Health Department, for more than 40 years. 

The Master of Science in Medical Biotechnology Program students train in the research-based program. 

Dr. Salafsky went on to become UICOMR’s regional dean in 1982, and his research through the Department of Biomedical Sciences included studies of eicosanoids and the pharmacology of human skin penetration by Schistosome larvae. The other researchers in the department made advances in such areas as:

In 2008, the Department of Biomedical Sciences launched the Master of Science in Medical Biotechnology Program to train the next generation of scientists. These graduate students work with the faculty researchers in their laboratories, applying the skills they are learning in the development of diagnostics, drugs and biomedical implants. They present their research at Research Day, at conferences and in publications. The program has graduated 289 scientists now working in labs around the globe.

Today, the Department of Biomedical Sciences is headed by Ramaswamy Kalyanasundaram, PhD, DVM, the Michael L. and Susan M. Glasser Professor of Rural Health Professions Education and Research. It includes his vaccine research lab as well as the Regenerative Medicine and Disability Laboratory, Blazer Foundation Nanomedicine Lab, 3D Bioprinting Lab, Lung Cancer Lab, Immunology Lab and Prostate Cancer Lab.

Research on rural health spans 30 years

Over the past 30 years, the fourth-year UICOMR medical students in the Rural Medical Education Program have conducted nearly 450 community-oriented primary care (COPC) research projects, focusing on various topics. Mental health has been the most prevalent topic area covered, followed by projects that focused on nutrition/exercise and substance use.

RMED students have impacted rural communities for more than 30 years with their community-oriented research projects.

The COPC Project allows each student the opportunity to engage in the community where they are completing their 16-week rural preceptorship and learn more about the conditions, systems and people unique to the community. This research allows RMED students the opportunity to engage in the research process and to translate these skills into their future practice environment. Each student is advised by a National Center for Rural Health Professions faculty or staff member.

COPC project themes reflect priority health issues in rural communities while providing a scholarly activity for health profession students. Recommendations that resulted from student research projects have been implemented in rural areas where research is not often conducted.

From these medical student projects grew more research into educating health professionals and helping rural communities.

UICOMR’s National Center for Rural Health Professions, established in 2003, has programs and collaborative partnerships that have become successful models for education, service, research and policy related to rural health involving multiple health professions.

NCRHP researchers have published a number of articles over the years focusing rural health workforce development and medical education for rural areas.

The NCRHP is currently completing research around artificial intelligence in rural medicine and Illinois rural health workforce needs as well as analyses of pathways programs such as the Six-Week Interprofessional Preceptorship Program.  

Medical students, residents and faculty contribute to research

UICOMR faculty regularly engage in research in their specialties, often with the assistance of medical students.

Programs for medical students to receive mentorship and assistance in completing research include James Scholars, Walter Rice Craig Scholars Program, Underrepresented in Medicine Student Research Program and others, which are coordinated through UICOMR’s Office of Research. Faculty also receive support through the Office of Research with biostatistical analysis, training, writing support, bridge grants and much more.

Research provides hope for millions of people suffering from serious illnesses, such as cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, hereditary spastic paraplegia and more. It leads to better health outcomes for populations that are underserved, including millions of Americans living in rural and urban areas. It’s an economic driver and a source of pride for our campus, our college and our university.

As we look forward to the future of research on this campus, may the past 53 years be a solid foundation from which innovative research continues to prosper, impacting science, patients and the health care workforce around the globe.

The UIC Rockford Research Day will be on Friday, April 10, 2026. This year’s Research Day chair is Manorama M Khare, PhD, MS.

Ramaswamy Kalyanasundaram, DVM, PhD, is one of Illinois Science & Technology Coalition’s (ISTC) 12 Researchers to Know for 2025 who are recognized for innovation, impact and interdisciplinary excellence.

Dr. Ramaswamy is a professor and head of the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Illinois College of Medicine Rockford.

His work stood out as a powerful example of innovation, impact and leadership in the state’s research ecosystem. The selection process was competitive, and being included among this group of researchers shows the admiration and recognition his contributions have earned.

Ramaswamy Kalyanasundaram, DVM, PhD, named ISTC Research to Know for 2025.

Dr. Ramaswamy’s research focuses on developing a vaccine against lymphatic filariasis, a tropical parasitic infection affecting over 120 million people in more than 80 countries. Only a few drug treatments are available for this mosquito-borne disease, which is also known as elephantiasis because those with the disease often have disabling and disfiguring swelling that can make their limbs resemble those of an elephant.

Each year, ISTC curates the Researchers to Know list to spotlight faculty whose work stands out not only for its academic merit, but for its relevance, collaboration and reach. Developed through a statewide nomination process that invites universities and research institutions to highlight exceptional talent, the list reflects a collective effort to showcase Illinois' most impactful scholars. Dr. Ramaswamy was nominated by Mathew Mathew Thoppil, PhD, UICOMR director of faculty research. 

Researchers working in the Regenerative Medicine and Disability Laboratory of Mathew Mathew-Thoppil, PhD, have, since the lab’s inception in 2016, studied the effects of medical implants used for joint replacements, such as a total hip replacement. They are looking at how these metal implants wear, as well as what happens in the body as they wear and particles are released, in hopes that implants can be made to last longer and be safer for patients who need them.  

A recent study looked at the products generated from metal hip implant wear and their effects on lung cells. The results of the study, entitled “Potential Pulmonary toxicity risks of metal products from hip implants: Using A549 lung cell and animal model,” are featured in Chemical Engineering Journal (impact rating 13.2).

Mathew Mathew-Thoppil, PhD, studied the effects of medical implants used for joint replacements.

The research conducted in the RMDR Laboratory in conjunction with collaborators found that the particles and ions associated with implant wear may pose a potential risk of lung toxicity. This provides valuable insights for addressing the potential risk associated with wear products from total hip replacements in further studies. 

Mohammad Fazle Alam, PhD; Xue-jun Li, PhD; Divya Bijukumar, PhD; Hana Hinkle, PhD, MPH; Mathew Thoppil-Mathew, PhD; and Neelu Puri, PhD; are recipients of grants for their work at the University of Illinois College of Medicine Rockford.

Mohammad Fazle Alam, PhD, a research scientist at the 3D Bioprinting Laboratory within the UICOMR Department of Biomedical Sciences, has received a $25,000 seed grant from the UIC Center for Clinical and Translational Science. This funding will support a collaborative research project between Dr. Alam, and Xue-Jun Li, PhD, the Michael A. Werckle Professor of Biomedical Sciences and co-director of the Regenerative Medicine and Disabilities Laboratory. The purpose of this project is to bioprint brain assembloids to model Alzheimer’s disease. Assembloids are models made with living cells that have the structural and functional properties of an organ. This interdisciplinary initiative aims to develop advanced 3D brain assembloids that accurately replicate the structure and function of the human brain.

An $80,000 grant from the Carter Foundation for Neurologic Research will help fund an investigation by UICOMR researchers that could lead to developing potential treatments for a type of hereditary spastic paraplegia called type 3A, the most common early-onset form of HSP.

Xue-jun Li, PhD, is the principal investigator on the study. Dr. Li is the Michael A. Werckle Professor of Biomedical Sciences and co-director of the Regenerative Medicine and Disabilities Laboratory in the UICOMR Department of Biomedical Sciences.

Divya Bijukumar, PhD, assistant professor in the College of Medicine Rockford Department of Biomedical Sciences, is a 2025 recipient of the UIC Chancellor’s Translational Research Initiative that will help further advance the EVNaturoPatch, an exosome-releasing microneedle patch to deliver pain management therapies. This program of the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Innovation and the Office of Technology Management provides up to $25,000 in funding to advance early-stage translational research projects towards commercialization.

The Health Resources and Services Administration’s Federal Office of Rural Health Policy Rural Health Network Development Planning Grant Program awarded the University of Illinois College of Medicine Rockford’s National Center for Rural Health Professions $100,000 in federal funding to support a new initiative: Illinois Network Supporting Providers in Rural Healthcare Excellence (INSPIRE). INSPIRE aims to address the pressing challenges of recruiting and retaining a skilled rural health workforce in Logan County, Illinois. Through a collaborative network of clinical, academic and community stakeholders, INSPIRE will foster sustainable, community-informed strategies to build and strengthen the local health care workforce. Hana Hinkle, PhD, MPH, is the principal investigator on the study.

Xue-Jun Li, PhD, received a subaward of $86,037 from the University of Arizona for the project titled "Nonlipogenic ABCA1 inducers for hereditary spastic paraplegias." 

Early this year Mathew Thoppil-Mathew, PhD, received $50,000 funding from the Proof of Concept Award Program for the project "Electrochemical, Nanoengineered, and Intelligent Biosensor for the early detection of Pancreatic Cancer (PancreaAlert)."

Neelu Puri, PhD, received $50,545 from Community Health Advocacy (CHA) for the project entitled "Promotion of Lung Cancer Screening and Development of Blood Biomarkers."

Master of Science in Medical Biotechnology (MBT) Program students from the UICOMR Department of Biomedical Sciences were invited to submit static images evocative of their research, which were then voted on by UIC Rockford campus community members and those affiliated with the MBT Program.

The top three winners received a prize, and the images are to be used to promote, advance and represent the MBT program both in print and digital media.

Listed below are the MBT Images of Research Competition 2025 winners:

1st place: “The Brain’s Hidden Galaxy: A Cosmic Birth of Connections” by Sarvika Periyapalayam Murali.

1st place: “The Brain’s Hidden Galaxy: A Cosmic Birth of Connections” by Sarvika Periyapalayam Murali. In this striking image, human stem cell-derived neurons affected by Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP) display radiant green axonal outgrowth after cholesterol-modulating treatment. Once severed by degeneration, these neural extensions now reach out like cosmic trails, forming new connections across a galaxy of cortical networks. This visual metaphor captures a hopeful leap toward restoring neuronal communication through targeted lipid-based therapies.

2nd place: “Neurons - Nature’s Web” by Priya Kunhiraman.

2nd place: “Neurons - Nature’s Web” by Priya Kunhiraman. The neurons shown in the image are derived from patient-specific iPSCs and stained with two important markers: CTIP2 (green) that marks the core of the web, revealing the very heart of the cortical projection neurons and BMPRII, the Bone Morphogenetic Protein Receptor II (red). Imagine this receptor as a bright light shining on certain threads of the web, showing where the BMP signaling is getting too strong. This increased activity in BMP signaling creates a disruption, causing the flow of signals to become chaotic in a system that should be in harmony, leading to abnormalities in SPG3A neurons.

3rd place: “Witnessing Astrogenesis: Visualizing the development of neural guardians through precise molecular probing” by Manaswini Vijayaraghavan.

3rd place: “Witnessing Astrogenesis: Visualizing the development of neural guardians through precise molecular probing” by Manaswini Vijayaraghavan. This captivating image reveals the emergence of Astrocytes, the star-shaped supporting cells of the nervous system, derived from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) through a carefully orchestrated differentiation process. The fiery red S100B highlights their functional identity, while Hoechst-stained nuclei punctuate the scene, illustrating the cellular network crucial for neuronal health. This compelling visualization of astrocytic markers confirms successful differentiation, bridging stem cell biology with the potential for neurodegenerative therapies.
