Lurie Cancer Center Members
Membership in the Lurie Cancer Center is based on the investigator's cancer research focus and scholarly activity. A program assignment recommendation is made by the Executive Committee with final approval issued by the cancer center's director. Full members are assigned to a program in the Basic Science Research Division, the Clinical Science Research Division or the Cancer Prevention & Control Research Division. All members are welcome and encouraged to participate in any educational activities initiated by the Lurie Cancer Center.
Eichner, Lillian
Assistant Professor
Bio
The focus of the Eichner lab is to elucidate transcriptional dependencies at the intersection of epigenetics, signaling, and metabolism to reveal and harness targetable vulnerabilities in cancer. Our... [more]

Bio
Red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is a powerful therapeutic tool and the most common form of transplantation in clinical practice, yet the immune system of the transfusion recipient can respo... [more]
Eklund, Elizabeth A.
Professor
Bio
The focus of my laboratory is to understand the key events in normal myelopoiesis and how leukemia-associated mutations derange these processes during leukemogenesis.
Espinosa, Horacio
