Research Labs

The Hite laboratory studies the mechanisms of ion and metabolite transport and the maintenance of genomic integrity.

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

The Huangfu laboratory uses human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) as a powerful genetic model to interrogate the transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms underlying cell fate decisions in development and disease.

Immunologist Morgan Huse studies the structure and function of immune cell-cell interactions.

Molecular biologist Prasad Jallepalli studies the mechanisms that ensure accurate chromosome transmission in human cells.

The Jasin laboratory focuses on double-strand break repair and genomic integrity in mammalian cells and the relationship to tumor suppression.

Cell biologist Xuejun Jiang studies programmed cell death, molecular mechanisms, and their roles in tumorigenesis.

Molecular biologist Scott Keeney investigates mechanisms of the initiation of meiotic recombination.

Molecular biologist Thomas Kelly studies regulatory mechanisms that control DNA replication during the cell cycle of eukaryotic cells.

Cancer biologist and pediatric oncologist Alex Kentsis leads research in the functional proteomics and molecular pharmacology of refractory childhood cancers.
