Research Labs

Physician-scientist Laura Tang studies the molecular pathogenesis of cell transformation in neuroendocrine neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas and adenocarcinomas of the stomach and gastrointestinal junction.

The Tansey lab focuses on solving frontier problems in cancer data science through the development of innovative statistical machine learning methods.

The Taylor laboratory studies the influence of the nervous system on pediatric and young adult cancers.

Craig Thompson studies molecular signaling pathways that regulate nutrient uptake and the role these pathways play in the regulation of cell growth and survival.

Cell biologist Meng-Fu Bryan Tsou studies cell cycle control of centrosome duplication and degeneration, as well as cilia assembly and disassembly.

The Tulpule lab studies how cells compartmentalize critical cellular processes with a focus on biomolecular condensates in cancer.

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

Associate Attending Computer Scientist Harini Veeraraghavan's lab develops and translates new AI and machine learning tools diagnosing and personalizing cancer treatments through automated segmentation of normal tissues and tumors applied to radiation treatment automation, early predicting treatment response and toxicity prediction, and longitudinal tumor treatment response monitoring from medical images.
