The Peled lab focuses on cancer immunotherapy.

… Cancer immunotherapy hold tremendous promise, but durable responses in most disease types are achieved in only a minority of patients. For example, allogeneic hematopoietic-cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is a curative treatment for hematological malignancies, but its success is limited by relapse, graft-vs-host

Joan Massagué studies the control of stem cell growth and phenotype in tumor progression, metastasis, and response to therapy.

… The Massagué lab investigates metastasis stem cells and their stromal niches throughout the metastatic cascade, with a growing interest in the dormant phase of metastasis. We are defining the phenotypic plasticity and evolution of metastatic cell populations from dormancy to outbreak, identifying drug

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

… Our research group has two primary focuses. One part of the lab focuses on determining the mechanisms of intracellular ion and metabolite transport, while the second studies protein nucleic acid interactions that are critical for maintaining genomic integrity. We study these fundamental processes using

… 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 Akhmanova laboratory studies cell invasion and migration through tissues, and how it is controlled by surrounding tissue cells.

… Welcome to the Akhmanova lab, where we study how cells penetrate and migrate through tissues in vivo . By combining cutting-edge live imaging, mechano-biological techniques, and theoretical modelling, we aim to uncover the secrets behind these intricate processes. Fig.1 Research methodology and goals

The Widman Lab within the Digital Oncology Program at MSKCC is using machine learning and genomics to engineer the next-generation of ultrasensitive, highly scalable liquid biopsies for early cancer detection, treatment monitoring, and detection of minimal residual disease (MRD) after surgery for early-stage cancer.

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

The Greenbaum lab utilizes techniques from statistical physics, information theory, and evolutionary biology to better understand the role of self/non-self discrimination in tumor evolution, model response to immunotherapies, and quantify drivers of virus and cancer evolution.

… A main goal in the Greenbaum lab is to quantify how the immune system is activated and how it impacts tumor evolution. A particular focus in the lab is the role of repetitive elements in the genome, which mimic viral features and, just like viruses, evolve to escape immune surveillance. Dr. Greenbaum

Cancer biologist Hans-Guido Wendel pursues both disease-centered and basic discovery research. The disease focus is on lymphocyte malignancies and the basic science arm of the lab explores fundamental mechanisms that control aberrant mRNA translation programs in cancer. Work in these two research areas frequently intersects in surprising ways.

… Our goal is to develop new cancer therapeutics and we are curious to identify biological vulnerabilities in cancer cells that provide opportunities for attack. Our research explores the molecular and cellular changes that drive cancer cells and ways to create new types of therapeutics including small

My research is focused on cellular and molecular mechanisms that control the differentiation, maintenance, and physiological functions of macrophages and monocytes and their roles in tissue homeostasis and disease processes.

… Over the past ten years, we have investigated the developmental origin and homeostasis of macrophages and the related cell types monocytes and dendritic cells. These cells play a major role in diverse types of cancer and can either restrain or promote cancer progression and metastasis.
