The Tower lab integrates multi-omics-based approaches in the fields of musculoskeletal development, homeostasis, repair and regeneration. 

Research conducted by the Nomellini Lab utilizes animal models as well as human samples to examine the interaction between the innate and adaptive immune responses that occur after injury or infection, and the heterogeneity of the immune responses that occur in each individual. Led by Vanessa Nomellini, M.D., Ph.D., our lab ultimately aims to develop personalized immune therapies to reverse the immunosuppression that can occur in ICU survivors.
