Research Team Structure

Scientists at KITE are grouped along two axes: Functional Teams and Special Initiatives Programs. Functional Teams provide a supportive ecosystem for scientists, staff, and trainees, offering mentorship, assistance, and professional growth opportunities to all KITE members. Special Initiatives Programs focus on developing new, innovative ideas that KITE PIs may collectively wish to pursue.

The five Functional Teams are:

Aging Aging Team Lead - Babak Taati

Cardiopulmonary Cardiopulmonary Team Lead - Tracey Colella

Neurorehabilitation and Neuroscience Neurorehabilitation and Neuroscience Team Lead - Behrang Keshavarz

The three Special Initiatives Programs focusing on the Institute’s three priorities are:
