Research Labs

Physician-scientist Omar Abdel-Wahab studies the functional genomics of hematopoietic malignancies.

The Antonsecu lab focuses on translocation-associated sarcoma pathogenesis and generating in vitro models.

The Bao laboratory investigates how the genome dictates development using C. elegans as a model.

The Baylies laboratory studies the mechanisms that form and maintain muscle both during normal development and in disease.

Cancer biologist Robert Benezra studies the molecular mechanisms of tumor growth and metastatic progression using mouse models. In addition, he studies the spindle assembly checkpoint which ensures proper chromosome segregation and is often deregulated in cancer.

Researcher Michael Berger focuses on massively parallel sequencing of tumor DNA for biomarker discovery and clinical diagnostics.

Physician-scientist Adrienne Boire studies metastasis to the central nervous system.

Physician-scientist Sarat Chandarlapaty studies the regulation of growth factor signaling networks in cancer.

Physician-scientist Yu Chen studies the role of transcription factors that are critical for prostate cancer development.
