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

The goal of the Choi Lab is to develop novel immunotherapies. To accomplish this, we first utilize high-dimensional approaches on human disease samples. This approach identifies targetable disease-promoting molecular defects in immune cells. Then, we utilize engineering approaches ot reverse the molecular changes. 

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 Ranjan 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. 

We aim to globally understand how the physical and chemical properties of materials affect interactions with biological systems in the context of improving therapies.
