Kenneth Marians focuses on mechanisms of replication restart and chromosome segregation.

… Research in my laboratory centers on: (i) the events that occur when the replisome (the multi-component enzyme machine that replicates chromosomal DNA) encounters blockages to replication fork progression, and (ii) the mechanisms by which chromosomes are condensed and separated during cell division.

Computational chemist John Chodera uses statistical mechanics, molecular modeling, and automated biophysical experiments to help identify new potential therapeutics and investigate mechanisms of drug resistance in cancer.

… The Chodera lab uses computation and experiments to develop quantitative, multiscale models of the effects of small molecules on biomolecular macromolecules and cellular pathways. To do this, the group utilizes physical models and rigorous statistical mechanics, with the overall goals of engineering

Radiologist and Nuclear Medicine physician Jan Grimm develops novel approaches for improved diagnosis, monitoring and therapy of prostate and other cancers.

… The Grimm lab in the Molecular Pharmacology Program focuses on the development of novel and innovative approaches for cancer diagnostics and therapy. These approaches evaluate underlying biology and utilize nanotechnology, chemistry and physics interrogated with modern imaging methods. The lab focuses

Interventional radiologist Constantinos Sofocleous leads research in the optimization of image-guided therapies for colorectal cancer metastases.

… The Constantinos Sofocleous Lab focuses in the exploration, assessment, and validation of tissue and image biomarkers after local and locoregional therapies for metastatic colorectal cancer. The research staff includes experts in radiation physics, 3D software applications in medicine, histopathology

The Zallen laboratory focuses on the generation of tissue structure through the collective action of cell populations.

Zallen, PhD Member, Developmental Biology Program, SKI; Investigator, Howard Hughes Medical Institute Professor PhD, University of California, San Francisco Email [email protected] Laboratory

Physician-scientist Ping Chi studies genetic and epigenetic mechanisms of transcriptional regulation by oncogenic factors in GIST, MPNST, melanoma and other solid tumors.

… It is well recognized that the cellular context contributes to susceptibility to oncogenic transformation mediated by different “driver” oncogenes. The focus of our laboratory is to discover and understand the critical genetic and epigenetic factors that determine the cellular-context-dependent oncogenesis

My research has focused on the development of novel statistical and bioinformatic methodologies that facilitate the study of translational research questions in cancer genomics and immuno-oncology.

… My research has focused on the development of novel statistical and bioinformatic methodologies that facilitate the study of translational research questions in cancer genomics and immuno-oncology. I developed several algorithms including iCluster and FACETS that are widely used in research community

The Romesser lab studies colorectal and anal cancer with a focus on using radiotherapy to treat disease.

… Research of the Paul Romesser Laboratory focuses on three main concepts. First is the characterization of the processes of senescence. This includes senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) induction and tumor microenvironment (TME) remodeling in response to radiation. Similarly, we seek to investigate

The Reznik Lab studies metabolic and mitochondrial dysfunction in cancer through analysis of multimodal genetic, metabolomic, and clinical data.

… The Reznik Lab studies metabolic and mitochondrial dysfunction in cancer through analysis of multimodal genetic, metabolomic, and clinical data. We use computational tools to address a basic question: how do tumors adapt their metabolism, the process by which they obtain energy and nutrition from the

The Aviram Lab investigates the molecular mechanisms that protect microorganisms from their own pathogenic invaders.

… Like any other organism, bacteria are constantly exposed to pathogenic threats, such as viruses and plasmids. The Aviram Lab is interested in understanding how bacterial cells protect themselves from invaders, focusing particularly on the CRISPR-Cas adaptive immune system. CRISPR-Cas systems have a remarkable
