Her research focuses on elucidating germline–somatic interactions across multi-ancestral populations. She develops computational and statistical approaches to characterize germline determinants of cancer

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

… The goal of my research is to understand the mechanisms and structures of enzymes that perform and regulate essential nucleic acid transactions. My research integrates diverse experimental approaches (including virology, biochemistry, structural biology, and genetics) and applies them to model systems

Cell biologist Meng-Fu Bryan Tsou studies cell cycle control of centrosome duplication and degeneration, as well as cilia assembly and disassembly.

… The goal of my research is to understand the biogenesis of centrioles/centrosomes and primary cilia, and how defects in these processes affect mammalian cell physiology and evoke stress responses. Using quantitative proteomics, super-resolution microscopy, comparative genomics, proximity labeling, and

Craig Thompson studies molecular signaling pathways that regulate nutrient uptake and the role these pathways play in the regulation of cell growth and survival.

… The Thompson laboratory has proposed that the basis of metazoan cell survival is determined by the inability of cells to take up nutrients in a cell-autonomous fashion. This hypothesis was formulated to explain how multicellularity might have arisen during evolution. We believe the lack of a cell-intrinsic

Physician-scientist Omar Abdel-Wahab studies the functional genomics of hematopoietic malignancies.

… Omar Abdel-Wahab is the Chair of SKI Molecular Pharmacology Program and an Attending Physician on the Leukemia Service in the Department of Medicine at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Omar Abdel-Wahab, MD Chair, Molecular Pharmacology Program, SKI; Evnin Family Chair in Molecular Pharmacology

Cell biologist Michael Overholtzer studies the mechanisms of tumor initiation and progression, cell adhesion, and cell death.

… The Overholtzer lab studies mechanisms of nutrient sensing and cellular responses to nutrient starvation, including the nutrient recycling pathway autophagy, scavenging pathways such as macropinocytosis, and mechanisms of cell death. We investigate cell death mechanisms that have unique effects on cell

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

… Human chromosomes are constantly assaulted by challenges to their integrity as a result of either environmental agents that damage DNA or from normal DNA metabolism. The failure to repair damaged DNA faithfully is ultimately responsible for many human diseases, especially cancer. This laboratory focuses

Physician-scientist Karuna Ganesh studies stem cell plasticity in metastasis, therapy resistance and tissue regeneration.

… Metastasis causes >90% of cancer death.  The emergence, persistence, therapy resistance and lethality of metastatic cancer is driven by dynamic and tenacious metastasis stem cells (MetScs). The Ganesh lab focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms that underlie the emergence of regenerative plasticity

The Diehl lab studies how the microbiota and other exogenous factors regulate development and function of the intestinal immune system.

… The intestinal immune system faces a number of unique challenges due to continuous exposure to rapidly changing exogenous factors including diet and intestinal microbes. Proper calibration of responses is needed to clear invading pathogens as well as repair damage. Over enthusiastic responses within

We develop and clinically deploy novel computational algorithms for analyzing multiscale, multimodal biomedical imaging data.

… The Nadeem Lab analyzes, interprets, and infers novel insights from biomedical data at multiple scales (macro: radiology/ surgery, meso: pathology, micro: genomics/ transcriptomics/ proteomics/ metabolomics) for improving patient outcomes. We use advanced mathematical and machine learning techniques
