The main focus in our laboratory is the identification and physiological characterization of adipocyte-specific gene products and the elucidation of pathways that are an integral part of the complex set of reactions that drive adipogenesis.
We are interested in the molecular mechanisms by which nuclear hormone receptors regulate lipid and carbohydrate metabolism in the liver, intestine, pancreatic islet, and central nervous system.
The mission of the Najafov Lab is to understand the role of cell death in physiology and disease. Our research is focused on necroptosis and how it can be targeted to develop novel strategies for treating cancer.
The Munshi Lab is a dedicated group of scientists seeking to identify the molecular drivers of normal cardiac rhythm and disease-associated dysrhythmias.
Using novel multi-omics approaches and model systems to treat pancreatic cancer
The Liu Lab investigates genetic and environmental factors leading towards obesity and metabolic syndrome in children and adolescents.
We focus on
We are multidisciplinary team of clinicians and scientists, focusing on liver cancer risk-predictive molecular biomarkers specific to clinical contexts (ex. geographic region, liver disease etiology, and patient race/ethnicity) individual risk-stratified personalized cancer screening.
Our goal is to tackle difficult problems in human health and cancer biology. We work on the diseases of triple-negative breast cancer and other difficult-to-treat cancers.
The Jain Lab is broadly interested in sex disparities in research on women's health, as well as the impact of sex hormones on airway diseases and immune response.
