Research Labs

The Tansey lab focuses on solving frontier problems in cancer data science through the development of innovative statistical machine learning methods.

The Taylor laboratory studies the influence of the nervous system on pediatric and young adult cancers.

Craig Thompson studies molecular signaling pathways that regulate nutrient uptake and the role these pathways play in the regulation of cell growth and survival.

Cell biologist Meng-Fu Bryan Tsou studies cell cycle control of centrosome duplication and degeneration, as well as cilia assembly and disassembly.

The Tulpule lab studies how cells compartmentalize critical cellular processes with a focus on biomolecular condensates in cancer.

The Vardhana Lab studies how nutrient availability, uptake and metabolism regulates host immune responses during cancer development and immunotherapy.

Associate Attending Computer Scientist Harini Veeraraghavan's lab develops and translates new AI and machine learning tools diagnosing and personalizing cancer treatments through automated segmentation of normal tissues and tumors applied to radiation treatment automation, early predicting treatment response and toxicity prediction, and longitudinal tumor treatment response monitoring from medical images.

Cancer biologist Andrea Ventura studies non-coding RNAs in cancer and development

The Vierbuchen laboratory directs the differentiation of mouse and human pluripotent stem cells to characterize fundamental mechanisms of neuronal cell fate specification and function.

The Farese & Walther lab studies the biology and pathology of cellular lipid metabolism, focusing on lipid/energy storage in lipid droplets and sphingolipid metabolism in lysosomes.
