Research Labs

The Baylies laboratory studies the mechanisms that form and maintain muscle both during normal development and in disease.

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.

Researcher Michael Berger focuses on massively parallel sequencing of tumor DNA for biomarker discovery and clinical diagnostics.

The Peter Besmer laboratory focuses on normal and oncogenic receptor tyrosine kinase signaling in vitro and in vivo in mice.

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.

Clinician-scientist Michelle Bradbury develops translational, tumor-targeting, PET-optical silica nanoparticle probes for diagnostics, drug delivery, and sensing.

Sean Brady's research interests center on both the discovery and the functional characterization of new small molecules from previously inaccessible genetic sources.

Physician-scientist Renier Brentjens develops novel immunotherapies for leukemias and lymphomas.
