Areas of Research: Liver Cancer, Bile AcidResearch Program: Cancer Discovery PlatformsStrategic Theme: Pathways & Mechanisms Sayeepriyadarshini (Sayee) Anakk focuses on understanding liver metabolism in both normal and diseased states. She aims to investigate how...
Keith Jarosinski’s research spans multiple aspects of herpesvirus-induced cancers, including host-to-host transmission, latency, transformation, and reactivation, using Marek’s disease virus (MDV) in chickens as a natural translational animal model. Most herpesviruses...
Mark Cohen was previously a professor of surgery and pharmacology at the University of Michigan, where he also served as the director of the Medical School Pathway of Excellence in Innovation and Entrepreneurship and the director of endocrine surgery research and...
The Mehta Lab is combining expertise in synthetic biology and synthetic chemistry to develop fundamentally novel, modular platforms to engineer selectivity in targeting cancers. They are using principles of directed evolution and biomolecule delivery platforms to...
Wu’s lab mainly focuses on the biophysical characterization of antibody-antigen interaction. Through high-throughput screening and biophysical characterization of antibody variants, his lab’s research provides insights into the mechanisms of antibody...
Bo Wang’s laboratory focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying lipid metabolism and how this contributes to human diseases such as cancer. His previous research has identified lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 3 (Lpcat3) as a critical...
Lam’s research focuses on the development and application of molecular imaging technologies based on rapid, high-resolution magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging, a unique modality that allows for mapping and quantifying the distribution of various...
Sandra Rodriguez-Zas is helping find ways to prevent and cure diseases in both livestock and humans. She uses biostatistics and computational approaches to identify biomarkers and molecular pathways associated with health, reproduction, and performance in livestock...
Jason Ridlon is helping find treatment strategies to improve human health and animal well-being. He studies gut microbiology, specifically the biochemistry and molecular biology of steroid and bile acid biotransformations by the gut microbiota. He is trying to...
Supriya Prasanth’s laboratory is focused on understanding how replication initiation is coordinated with chromatin organization and cell cycle progression. Defects in accurate replication and faithful chromosome segregation cause genomic instability, a hallmark...
Pablo Perez-Pinera has a broad background and extensive experience in genome engineering, gene editing, and regulation of gene expression with artificial transcription factors. Perez-Pinera’s work has been critical forunderstanding activation of native gene...
