Research Labs

Physician-scientist Samuel Bakhoum studies the role of chromosomal instability in tumor evolution and metastasis.

Cancer biologist Robert Benezra studies the molecular mechanisms of tumor growth and metastatic progression using mouse models. In addition, he studies the spindle assembly checkpoint which ensures proper chromosome segregation and is often deregulated in cancer.

Physician-scientist Ronald Blasberg focuses on the development of noninvasive imaging paradigms in living organisms using radionuclide and optical reporter systems.

Physician-scientist Adrienne Boire studies metastasis to the central nervous system.

Physician-scientist Cameron Brennan focuses on genomic analysis of human and mouse gliomas and medulloblastomas.

Physician-scientist Timothy Chan focuses on the characterization of genetic determinants underlying response and resistance to cancer therapeutics.

Physician-scientist Nai-Kong Cheung focuses on engineering antibodies and immune cells to treat both solid tumors and liquid tumors in children.

Physician-scientist James Fagin focuses on the pathogenesis of thyroid cancer and the role of oncogenic kinases.

Physician-scientist Karuna Ganesh studies stem cell plasticity in metastasis, therapy resistance and tissue regeneration.

Chemist Daniel Heller focuses on biomaterials and nanoscale engineering for molecular sensors and targeted therapeutics.
