Research Labs

Physician-scientist Omar Abdel-Wahab studies the functional genomics of hematopoietic malignancies.

Heeseon An’s lab studies protein degradation in health and disease using chemical, biological, and proteomics tools.

Chemical biologist Daniel Bachovchin designs selective inhibitors to study enzymes and pathways in cancer and immune system signaling.

The Bao laboratory investigates how the genome dictates development using C. elegans as a model.

The Baylies laboratory studies the mechanisms that form and maintain muscle both during normal development and in disease.

Biostatistician Colin Begg has research interests spanning cancer epidemiology and statistical methods that are applicable to clinical research more broadly.

Cancer biologist Robert Benezra studies the molecular mechanisms of tumor growth and metastatic progression using mouse models. In addition, he studies the spindle assembly checkpoint which ensures proper chromosome segregation and is often deregulated in cancer.

Sean Brady's research interests center on both the discovery and the functional characterization of new small molecules from previously inaccessible genetic sources.

Immunologist Jayanta Chaudhuri studies the mechanisms of immunoglobulin gene diversification.

The Chiosis lab uses a unique chemical biology approach to understand, diagnose, and treat cellular processes associated with chronic molecular stress, with the ultimate goal of developing novel therapeutic options for use in the clinic.
