We use genetic systems to deconstruct functions associated with the most commonly mutated genes found in human cancers.

The Acute Liver Failure Study Group (ALFSG) is a clinical research network funded by the National Institutes of Health since 1997, to gather important prospective data and biosamples on this rare condition. 

The Advanced Imaging and Informatics for Radiation Therapy (AIRT) Lab's research is focused on the development of novel imaging and beam delivery techniques and new machine learning algorithms to improve the efficacy of radiation therapy.

The focus of Dr. Agarwal's research has been on mechanisms of steroid action with emphases on: 1) structure-activity relationships of ligand-steroid receptor interactions, and 2) steroid metabolism.

We are interested in the relationship between metabolism and cell type. We focus on the metabolism of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and their progeny including cells of the myeloid and T cell lineages.

Our lab is using various approaches to explore this biology and develop new treatments with a focus on targeting tumor intrinsic factors such as genetic programs like the epithelial to mesenchymal transition that coordinate with infiltrating immune cells in enhance therapeutic resistance and assist distant spread.

Akbay Lab studies genetic and molecular events that lead to lung-tumor initiation and immune evasion. 

Our mission is to improve the care of breast cancer patients through cutting-edge translational research at the interface of clinical oncology, cancer biology, molecular genetics, and translational genomics.

Our goal is to track the signaling dynamics of individual effectors and toxins in living cells, using a combination of fluorescent genetic reporters, microinjection of labeled bacterial proteins, and live cell imaging techniques. 

The ANSIR lab is devoted to the application of novel image analysis methods (e.g. diffeomorphic registration, machine learning, graph theory, ASL) to research studies, as well as to robust clinical translation of these techniques.

Our group studies the effect of cancer therapeutics and aging on the growth and renewal of heart muscle.

The Arteaga laboratory has a longstanding interest in understanding the molecular pathways that drive breast cancer progression and influence response to therapies.
