Auinash Kalsotra’s laboratory focuses on answering one fundamental question in biology: How do cells produce the precise assortment of RNAs and proteins in space and time to carry out complex tissue functions? Kalsotra is particularly interested in understanding how...
Stephen Sligar has spent his professional career focused on the discovery, development, and use of chemical and biophysical tools to understand fundamental problems in biochemistry. Sligar’s lab developed the Nanodisc platform, which allows for the generation of a...
Taher Saif has been working on cancer for over fifteen years, with the goal is to explore the underlying mechanism of cellular mechanotransduction in a physiologically relevant context, particularly human diseases. Towards this goal, he has developed several...
Paul Selvin has spent his career developing high-resolution fluorescent techniques to study biological molecules as a biophysicist. Selvin’s recent work has turned to molecular motors—proteins whose job is moving cargoes around the cell. Selvin’s lab is now...
Kim Selting has made major contributions to both human and veterinary oncology through development, design, and reporting in animal clinical trials and the application of radiation therapy to companion animals. During clinical research, Selting has explored the use of...
Diwakar Shukla’s research group develops and employs computational chemistry approaches to decipher the mechanisms of regulation of protein function, which play a critical role in governing cellular and organismal behavior. Shukla’s group develops computational and...
David Shapiro’s lab has spent over a decade studying estrogens, acting via estrogen receptor a (ERa), which plays a key role in most breast cancers. The Shapiro laboratory has leveraged its expertise in ERa action in cancer to identify new pathways of hormone action...
David Sarlah is an organic chemist, using the discovery of new reactivities and the guiding principles of chemistry to aid in the creation of cancer therapies. Through collaborations with CCIL members, Sarlah has successfully developed several enabling methodologies...
Andrew Smith’s research focuses on the development of new technologies to image and analyze molecular changes in cancer cells and tissue during carcinogenesis and during therapy. His lab develops light-emitting nanocrystals for quantitative imaging of abnormally...
Mohammed El-Kebir has worked on various cancer research topics, including tumor phylogenetics in the context of intra-tumor heterogeneity. El-Kebir develops algorithms to study the progression of a tumor from its initial stage, where the healthy cell first mutates, to...
Wawrzyniec Dobrucki’s studies focus on developing multimodal imaging strategies to track myocardial and peripheral angiogenesis with targeted molecular imaging agents. His current research explores the effect of dietary modulation on prostatic neuroendocrine...
Hyunjoon (Joon) Kong’s lab is developing advanced biomaterials that can be used to address problems in biology and medicine. The Kong lab conducts research that aims to better understand the roles of an extracellular matrix and bio-transports on cancer...
