Research Labs

Cancer Immunologist Andrea Schietinger investigates immune responses to cancer, molecular mechanisms underlying tumor-induced T cell dysfunction, and new approaches for cancer immunotherapy.

The Sfeir Lab investigates pathways that ensure genome fidelity and plasticity.

The Mara Sherman lab aims to understand the heterocellular interactions among pancreatic cancer cells and their surrounding microenvironment, and to target these networks for therapeutic benefit.

The Sheu-Gruttadauria Lab investigates how biomolecular condensates and biological phase transitions shape gene expression in physiology and disease.

The goal of my research is to understand the mechanisms and structures of enzymes that perform and regulate essential nucleic acid transactions.

The Studer laboratory investigates human stem cells as tools to understand normal and pathological development in the nervous system and to develop cell-based strategies for regenerative medicine.

Immunologist Joseph Sun investigates the natural killer cell response against infection and cancer.

Physician-scientist Viviane Tabar focuses on stem cells as tools for brain repair and for modeling brain cancer.

Cancer biologist Tuomas Tammela investigates cellular heterogeneity in lung and pancreatic cancers.

Derek Tan’s lab studies diversity-oriented synthesis and rational drug design of probes and lead compounds for chemical biology and drug discovery.
