Our research focuses on developing and testing novel immunotherapies for meningiomas (the most common brain tumors in adults) as well as on understanding the tumor immune microenvironment of meningiomas and other skull base tumors.
The Sun Lab is focused on developing novel imaging probes for noninvasive assessment of specific biomarkers implicated in disease initiation, progression, or regression, and exploring the translational roles of imaging probes and/or methodologies in clinical medicine practice with the ultimate goal to improve the outcome of patient care.
The Sweat lab studies how perturbations in cardiac gene expression result in arrhythmias, with a focus on atrial fibrillation. We apply single-cell multiomics and epigenetics approaches to gain insight into mechanisms of arrhythmia and potential new treatment approaches231`
Our lab's focus is to develop novel tools aimed at understanding ion channel physiology and molecular mechanism in an isolated membrane environment.
