Bio

###Research
Cystic Fibrosis Research Lab  – Disease Research: 
Luckie serves as the principal investigator of the “CFRL" which employs undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, and collaborating faculty who pursue cell biology and pathogen research. The research program has involved questions ranging from, the reason for pH changes that occur in cystic fibrosis, how to best diagnose CF with molecular assays, as well as the impact of "correctors" used in the treatment of the disease.

STEM Learning Lab – Education Research:
Luckie serves as the principal investigator of the “STEM Learning lab" which employs undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, and collaborating faculty who pursue biology education research (Discipline-based Education Research). The research group examines how theoretically grounded experimental approaches in teaching can increase student learning in science courses.

Learning and Inclusion in Physiology Education (LIPhE) – DBER of DEI Research:
Luckie collaborates with investigators in the LIPhE Research Group on Equitable Practice and Pedagogy, Instructional Strategies and Learning and more.
