Research Labs

Cancer biologist Michael Kharas studies RNA regulators of self-renewal in both normal and leukemic hematopoiesis.

Physician-scientist Richard Kolesnick studies the role of ceramide signaling in radiation-induced vascular dysfunction and tumor regression.

The Lai laboratory integrates genetics, biochemistry, and genomewide approaches to study diverse regulatory networks during patterning and behavior.

The Lareau Lab synthesizes computational and experimental genomics methods to study how immune cells in our bodies adapt, expand, differentiate, and evolve over an individual’s lifetime.

The Lee laboratory studies the mechanisms governing homeostatic turnover and reparative programs in stem cells, with a focus on elucidating how tissue perturbations lead to lung disease.

Computational biologist Christina Leslie focuses on developing machine learning algorithms for computational and systems biology.

Radiochemist Jason Lewis develops molecular imaging agents for the imaging and therapy of cancer.

Immunologist Ming Li studies mechanisms of immune regulation, and their relevance to diseases including cancer.

Dr. Yueming Li studies disease mechanism of Cancer and Alzheimer’s, with the goal of developing novel therapeutics for clinical use.

The Lima laboratory studies mechanisms underlying RNA processing as well as post-translational protein modification by ubiquitin-like proteins.
