Research Labs

Physician-scientist David R. Jones studies molecular mechanisms governing the development of metastases in lung and esophageal cancers.

Physician-scientist Richard Kolesnick studies the role of ceramide signaling in radiation-induced vascular dysfunction and tumor regression.

Molecular pathologist Marc Ladanyi studies the molecular pathogenesis of sarcomas, lung cancer, and mesothelioma.

The Lee laboratory studies the mechanisms governing homeostatic turnover and reparative programs in stem cells, with a focus on elucidating how tissue perturbations lead to lung disease.

Immunologist Ming Li studies mechanisms of immune regulation, and their relevance to diseases including cancer.

Dr. Yueming Li studies disease mechanism of Cancer and Alzheimer’s, with the goal of developing novel therapeutics for clinical use.

The Lito lab investigates the properties of oncoproteins that drive cancer cell growth, with a focus on cancers driven by RAS mutations.

Chemical Biologist Minkui Luo develops cutting-edge tools, technologies and concepts to annotate functions of protein-posttranslational modifications and designs inhibitors for cancer therapies.
