Research Labs

Chemical Biologist Minkui Luo develops cutting-edge tools, technologies and concepts to annotate functions of protein-posttranslational modifications and designs inhibitors for cancer therapies.

Molecular biologist John Maciejowski studies the causes of complex chromosome rearrangements and the patterns of hypermutation that shape cancer genomes.

New roles for Notch signaling in the immune system.

Kenneth Marians focuses on mechanisms of replication restart and chromosome segregation.

Joan Massagué studies the control of stem cell growth and phenotype in tumor progression, metastasis, and response to therapy.

Molecular and cell biologist Christine Mayr studies how 3′UTRs regulate protein functions and how mRNAs contribute to cytoplasmic organization.

Physician-scientist Babak Mehrara studies the regulation of lymphatic regeneration after surgery and development of lymphedema.

Physician-scientist Ingo Mellinghoff studies signal transduction alterations in primary brain tumors.

The Minn Lab investigates how cancers evolve under chronic inflammation and persistent immune pressure to acquire resistance to immunotherapies, with the goal of developing innovative therapies to restore anti-tumor immunity.
