Tumor Environment & Metastasis Members
The Tumor Environment & Metastasis (TEAM) Program uses an integrative approach to elucidate key molecular interactions between tumor cells and components of the host stromal microenvironment including matrix, vascular structures and cells of the immune system.
Cooper, Lee
Associate Professor
Bio
My lab focuses on the applications of machine learning in cancer and fundamental research in machine learning. We develop algorithms to predict clinical outcomes from genomic, imaging, and histopathol... [more]
Cui, Weiguo
Professor
Bio
I am an immunologist with broad expertise in studying T cell response during viral, bacterial infection and tumorigenesis. My research interest has mainly focused on how cytokine signals and genetic p... [more]
Eisenbarth, Stephanie
Professor
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]
Fang, Deyu
Professor
Bio
The current application is to delineate the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying USP22 (ubiquitinspecific peptidase 22) in Regulatory T (Treg) cell hemostasis and functions. Our preliminary da... [more]
Folsch, Heike
Research Associate Professor
Bio
Understanding how epithelial cells establish and maintain apical-basolateral polarity through continuously sorting transmembrane proteins to their correct target domains. Our focus is on sorting event... [more]
Fourati, Slim
Assistant Professor
Bio
My research focuses on the use of bioinformatic analysis of high-throughput data (like RNA-Sequencing, Flow cytometry) to identify biological mechanisms associated with the immune response to perturba... [more]
Gelfand, Vladimir
Professor
Bio
Cytoskeleton, motor proteins, cell movement, microtubules, actin, kinesin, dynein, myosin, neurodegenerative diseases.
Gottardi, Cara
Associate Professor
Bio
Expertise in how cells adhere to each other, what constitutes dynamic versus static adhesion at the molecular level, and how the state of cell-cell adhesion is interpreted by the nucleus to control ge... [more]
Green, Kathleen
Professor
Bio
Our work has established that in addition to playing a critical role in cell-cell adhesion, desmosomal cadherins serve as signaling scaffolds that dictate cell behavior and control the balance of prol... [more]
Heimberger, Amy
Professor
Bio
I am a physician-scientist and a board-certified Neurosurgeon with extensive training and experience in the field of immunology. My laboratory is focused on elucidating the mechanisms of tumor-mediate... [more]
