Research Labs

Physician-scientist Babak Mehrara studies the regulation of lymphatic regeneration after surgery and development of lymphedema.

Physician-scientist Ingo Mellinghoff studies signal transduction alterations in primary brain tumors.

The Minn Lab investigates how cancers evolve under chronic inflammation and persistent immune pressure to acquire resistance to immunotherapies, with the goal of developing innovative therapies to restore anti-tumor immunity.

Our group, the Laboratory of Experimental Cancer Immunogenomics, is a multi-disciplinary team of cancer scientists working at the intersection of genomics, molecular genetics, animal modeling, and biostatistical data sciences.

Computational biologist Quaid Morris uses artificial intelligence techniques and develops machine learning algorithms to study gene regulation, cancer evolution, clinical informatics, and other topics in systems biology.

We develop and clinically deploy novel computational algorithms for analyzing multiscale, multimodal biomedical imaging data.

Physician-scientist Rachel Niec studies how cells and tissues communicate to promote health or drive inflammation and cancer.

Cell biologist Philipp Niethammer investigates tissue damage responses with advanced imaging approaches in zebrafish.

The Nikolov laboratory focuses on the structural, biophysical, and biochemical characterization of the molecular mechanisms of cell-cell interactions and signal transduction across the plasma membrane.

Systems biologist Thomas Norman develops new computational and functional genomics approaches for studying how genes interact to realize complex phenotypes.
