Research Labs

Physician-scientist Vladimir Ponomarev focuses on developing reporter genetic systems for specific applications such as sequential in vivo imaging studies in cancer biology, cancer immunotherapy, and radiation sciences.

Immunology Program Chair Alexander Rudensky focuses on immunological tolerance and the differentiation and function of T cells.

Cancer Immunologist Andrea Schietinger investigates immune responses to cancer, molecular mechanisms underlying tumor-induced T cell dysfunction, and new approaches for cancer immunotherapy.

My research has focused on the development of novel statistical and bioinformatic methodologies that facilitate the study of translational research questions in cancer genomics and immuno-oncology.

Interventional radiologist Constantinos Sofocleous leads research in the optimization of image-guided therapies for colorectal cancer metastases.

Dr. Solomon is an interventional radiologist whose team investigates novel minimally invasive, image-guided therapies and their biologic and immunologic interactions.

Immunologist Joseph Sun investigates the natural killer cell response against infection and cancer.

The Vardhana Lab studies how nutrient availability, uptake and metabolism regulates host immune responses during cancer development and immunotherapy.

Xinbo Yang’s lab applies structural biology and protein engineering to decode T cell receptor specificity in cancer and autoimmune disease.
