Neurobiology of Language
Dr. Andrew Anderson is in the process of submitting a research article as first author with collaboration with University of Western Sydney. The collaborative basic science research is on the neurobiology of language. This explores the study of language, and has expanded current known knowledge in the past decade.

Computational Modeling
Dr. Ranjan Dash is working with two community anesthesiologists in Melbourne, Australia on computational modeling of ventilation-perfusion inequality and second gas effects on gas exchange in the lungs.

International Lymphoma Radiation Oncology Group Steering Committee Member
Dr. Schultz is a member of the International Lymphoma Radiation Oncology (ILROG) Group Steering Committee. ILROG was founded in 2010 by a group of radiation oncology experts from several countries who are recognized as international academic leaders in the field of lymphoma. They explored the interest of radiation oncologists in the mission of the organization and were strongly encouraged by supportive responses from over 750 radiation oncologists spread across 40 different countries. They organized a group of 24 expert lymphoma radiation oncologists representing 14 countries, spanning from Asia to North America, to serve as a Steering Committee and to elect a Chair and Vice Chair. The Steering Committee agreed to focus first on establishing, harmonizing, and distributing new guidelines that would address the recent dramatic changes in the field principles, dose, and technological advances in radiotherapy of lymphoma. Their present goal is to enable and encourage the many radiation oncologists interested in lymphoma to join ILROG as members and engage in accomplishing the objectives outlined below through active participation in newly set committees, research, and special mission teams.

Spatial Modeling
Dr. Ranjan Dash is collaborating with another doctor at University of Auckland to investigate spatial modeling of liver metabolism and ischemia reperfusion injury.
