Chen Lab is broadly interested in mechanisms of signal transduction, namely how a cell communicates with its surroundings and within itself.

We use in vivo models of ischemic acute kidney injury in mice, and in vitro model systems to perform detailed studies of proinflammatory genes activated by renal ischemia/reperfusion.

The Zhong Lab investigates the fundamental mechanisms of inflammation across metabolic disorders, tumor immunology, and neurodegenerative diseases, with the goal of identifying actionable pathways and developing targeted therapeutic strategies.

Dr. Cowell has built a research program focused on the development of bioinformatics and computational biology methods for studying the immune system and infectious diseases.  

The Turer Lab is interested in finding genes with novel functions in intestinal immune homeostasis. Our projects generally involve a mix of experimental approaches examining both the intestinal epithelium as well as hematopoietic causes of intestinal inflammation.

The Wakeland Lab utilizes state-of-the-art genomic strategies to investigate the diversity of the human and mouse immune systems. 

The Reddy Lab focuses on restoring effective antigen presentation to enhance anti-tumor immunity in breast cancers.

Malter Lab focuses on exploring and characterizing intracellular signaling pathways in the immune and nervous systems and identifying how defects/abnormalities can lead to disease.

Our lab aim is to discover and translate findings into diagnostic and therapeutic solutions for patients with allergy.

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