Research Labs

Physician-Scientist A. Ari Hakimi, MD studies genetic and metabolic mechanisms of immune response in kidney cancers.

Physician-scientist Alan Hanash studies transplant immunology and immune-mediated mechanisms of tissue damage and regeneration.

Cancer immunologist Alan Houghton studies the immune response to cancer, immune recognition of self and mutated molecules, and development of new immunotherapies.

Physician-scientist Katharine Hsu studies the biology of human natural killer cells and how they contribute to disease processes.

Physician-scientist Christopher A. Klebanoff studies T cell immunobiology with an emphasis on adoptive T cell immunotherapy for the treatment of solid malignancies.

Luc Morris is a physician-scientist whose laboratory studies how tumor genetics influence the development of cancer, escape from immune surveillance, and immunotherapy outcomes in cancers of the head and neck and other sites.

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

Physician-scientist Richard O'Reilly investigates the genetic disparities and cellular interactions between donor and host that affect allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation.

Computational biologist Dana Pe’er combines single-cell and spatial profiling technologies with machine learning approaches to address fundamental questions in gene regulation, cellular plasticity and cell-cell communication in the contexts of cancer, immunity and development.

The Peled lab focuses on cancer immunotherapy.
