The Huangfu laboratory uses human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) as a powerful genetic model to interrogate the transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms underlying cell fate decisions in development and disease.

… We apply both precision gene editing and large-scale CRISPR screening in human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) to explore mechanisms underlying human development. Specifically, we are interrogating the protein-coding regulators of pancreatic development and β cell function. The pathways that regulate

Molecular biologist Simon Powell investigates DNA replication and recombination, chromosome dynamics, and human genetics.

… The major theme of our work is how DNA repair processes are disrupted in human cancers and how this can be exploited therapeutically.   Join the Powell Lab! Simon N. Powell, MD, PhD Enid A. Haupt Chair in Radiation Oncology Professor PhD, MD, University of London Email [email protected] Laboratory phone

The Gladkova lab studies the mechanisms and signals that reshape cellular organelle architecture in response to physiological stimuli.

… The Gladkova lab aims to uncover the principles that govern the shape, distribution and movement of organelles, with the ultimate goal of understanding how organelle architecture supports cellular function. This is essential, because defects in organelle maintenance cause neurodegeneration, and altered

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

… The goal of our laboratory is to understand when, why, and how immune cells become unresponsive to tumors or self-destructive in autoimmune diseases. We develop genetic cancer mouse models that mimic cancer development in patients, investigate T cell responses over the course of tumor development, and

Dr. Solomon is an interventional radiologist whose team investigates novel minimally invasive, image-guided therapies and their biologic and immunologic interactions.

… Our lab develops new minimally invasive image-guided cancer treatments: Methods for improving the anti-tumor immune response after embolization or ablation. Genetic, imaging, and other tests to predict response after embolization or ablation. New devices for endoluminal ablation (ureter, bile ducts,

The Antonsecu lab focuses on translocation-associated sarcoma pathogenesis and generating in vitro models.

… An on-going focus of our work is the genomic investigation of pediatric and young adult unclassified mesenchymal tumors, with a special emphasis on detecting novel gene fusions drivers. By applying highly efficient RNAseq and FusionSeq pipelines for novel translocation discovery in tumors that lack known

The Lareau Lab synthesizes computational and experimental genomics methods to study how immune cells in our bodies adapt, expand, differentiate, and evolve over an individual’s lifetime.

… The focus of the Lareau Lab is to understand how cells in our bodies adapt, expand, and evolve during the course of our lives, particularly in the immune system. The theme of our lab’s research is Computational and Translational Immunology, which is purposefully broad but grounds our research program

Developmental biologist Luis F. Parada uses genetically engineered mouse models to study neurofibromatosis, brain tumors, cancer stem cells, and tumor progression.

… The Parada lab uses genetically engineered mouse models to recapitulate and study human disease. These mouse strains are used to understand the natural history of tumors of the nervous system, including glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST), neurofibromas, and

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

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

… The identification of small-molecule probes and therapeutic lead compounds to address novel biological targets is a significant current challenge in chemical biology and drug discovery. We are engaged in a two-pronged approach to this problem involving diversity-oriented synthesis and rational design
