Chemical biologist Daniel Bachovchin designs selective inhibitors to study enzymes and pathways in cancer and immune system signaling.

… The Bachovchin lab uses chemical and cell biology approaches to study important questions in innate immunity. We are particularly interested in characterizing the molecular mechanisms controlling the formation of inflammasomes, key components of the innate immune system that sense intracellular danger

Researcher Michael Berger focuses on massively parallel sequencing of tumor DNA for biomarker discovery and clinical diagnostics.

… The focus of the Berger laboratory is to use novel computational and experimental techniques to characterize the spectrum of genetic mutations in human tumors in order to identify biomarkers of cancer progression and drug response. The identification of molecular drivers of cancer and the development

… About the Scott Lowe Lab Cancer biologist Scott Lowe uses genetically engineered mouse models to study how the genetic alterations in cancer cells contribute to tumorigenesis, alter treatment response, and create molecular vulnerabilities that may be targeted therapeutically. Cancer arises through an

The Wilkinson laboratory studies reverse transcriptases and retrotransposons using biochemistry, structural biology, and genome mining.

… Genetic information typically flows in one direction: from DNA to RNA to protein. Our lab is fascinated by reverse transcription, where this flow is flipped on its head, allowing RNA to be rewritten back into DNA. Reverse transcriptases are famously used by retroviruses like HIV to invade genomes, but

Physician-scientist Vladimir Ponomarev focuses on developing reporter genetic systems for specific applications such as sequential in vivo imaging studies in cancer biology, cancer immunotherapy, and radiation sciences.

… I am a physician-scientist who focuses on the development of new multi-modal imaging approaches for specific applications, such as sequential in vivo imaging studies in cancer biology, cancer immunotherapy, and radiation sciences. Vladimir Ponomarev, MD, PhD Office phone 646-888-2213

The Choi Lab develops new synthetic biology tools to study cell-fate decisions in development.

… The Choi Lab develops new synthetic biology tools to study cell-fate decisions in development. During development, cells differentiate into various cell types with distinct functions. To understand how different cell types are made, we need a tool to observe cells’ previous and current states, as well

The Goldberg laboratory focuses on structural and biochemical characterization of intracellular vesicle transport.

… Our research group studies the mechanisms of protein trafficking and quality control at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in mammalian cells. A major focus of research is on the COPII protein machinery responsible for synthesis of ER-derived transport vesicles. We are exploring the mechanisms utilized by

The laboratory investigates cellular lipid and energy metabolism, in particular the mechanisms and physiology of neutral lipid synthesis and storage in lipid droplets.

… The laboratory investigates cellular lipid and energy metabolism, in particular the mechanisms and physiology of neutral lipid synthesis and storage in lipid droplets. More broadly, the lab studies the mechanisms how cells regulate the abundance of lipids, how they store lipids to buffer fluctuation

Physician-scientist Christine Iacobuzio-Donahue studies the genomics and cell biology of pancreatic and other solid tumors as it relates to subclonal evolution, tumor progression, and metastasis.

… Our lab investigates the fundamental evolutionary mechanisms underlying metastasis using pancreatic cancer as our model tumor type. Metastasis is the result of a series of biological hurdles subject to Darwinian selection including the birth of metastasis-enabled cells within a heterogeneous primary

The Pavletich laboratory studies the structural biology of pathways that control cell growth and maintain the integrity of the genome.

… Our research group is interested in understanding, at the structural and mechanistic levels, the maintenance of genomic integrity and the control of cell growth, both of which figure prominently in cancer. In the area of growth control, our recent work is focused on the mTOR pathway that controls multiple
