Research Labs

Physician-scientist Katharine Hsu studies the biology of human natural killer cells and how they contribute to disease processes.

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.

Medical physicist John Humm focuses on noninvasive imaging of the tumor microenvironment using nuclear imaging methods.

Immunologist Morgan Huse studies the structure and function of immune cell-cell interactions.

Physician-scientist Christine Iacobuzio-Donahue studies the genomics and cell biology of pancreatic and other solid tumors as it relates to subclonal evolution, tumor progression, and metastasis.

Physician-scientist Andrew Intlekofer investigates why cancer cells depend on specific pathways of nutrient metabolism.

Molecular biologist Prasad Jallepalli studies the mechanisms that ensure accurate chromosome transmission in human cells.

The Jasin laboratory focuses on double-strand break repair and genomic integrity in mammalian cells and the relationship to tumor suppression.

Cell biologist Xuejun Jiang studies programmed cell death, molecular mechanisms, and their roles in tumorigenesis.

Physician-scientist David R. Jones studies molecular mechanisms governing the development of metastases in lung and esophageal cancers.
