research lab at UT Southwestern for Yun Wei, Ph.D.

The Neuro-Oncology Translational Research Laboratory studies primary brain tumors from pure basic science through the continuum to clinical trials. 

Our laboratory is interested in understanding how the ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation regulates gene expression and how failure of these pathways contributes to developmental disorders and diseases, such as neurodegeneration and cancer.

Research lab led by PI Faith (Yuanyuan) Zhang, M.D., Ph.D.

The Nanoimmune Therapeutics Lab’s mission is to develop and translate novel immunotherapies, with a particular focus on addressing malignant cancers in humans and animals.

Harnessing the power of light to develop methods to understand, diagnose, & treat diseases. The unique strength of the Achilefu Lab (Optical Radiology Lab, ORL) is the ability to develop complete solutions from conception, implementation, and validation to human clinical care. We aim to change the way medicine is practiced.

Multidisciplinary research to beat cancer

How do cells sense metabolites to drive their growth and proliferation?  We seek to study metabolites not only as nutrients but as cellular instruction signals that dictate cell biology. 

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

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.
