Research Labs

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.

Cancer geneticist Kenneth Offit focuses on gene characterization; genetic and epidemiologic studies of cancer-predisposing alleles; and the therapeutic, prognostic, and psychosocial translation of these findings.

Alban Ordureau explores molecular signaling pathways that regulate cellular homeostasis, with a focus on the ubiquitin and autophagy systems.

Led by Dr. Irene Orlow, the Lab participates in self-initiated research and supports investigations from the Population Sciences & Clinical Research programs that involving human specimens processing, testing, and banking.
