David A. Williams, M.D.

Person

An internationally renowned researcher, Dr. Williams' work focuses on blood stem cell biology, leukemia, and gene therapy to correct genetic blood disorders.

The Williams lab investigates the biology of hematopoietic stem cells, focusing on analysis of the...

Ramesh Shivdasani, MD, PhD

Person

Research in Ramesh Shivdasani's laboratory focuses on gastrointestinal cells and cancer.

Jerome Ritz, M.D.

Person

The Ritz lab seeks to distinguish graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) response from graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and to develop new methods for selectively enhancing GVL.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is widely used in the treatment...

John Quackenbush, PhD

Person

Our research group focuses on methods spanning the laboratory to the laptop that are designed to use genomic and computational approaches to reveal the underlying biology. In particular, we have been looking at patterns of gene expression in cancer with...

Kornelia Polyak, M.D., Ph.D.

Person

Research in the Polyak laboratory is dedicated to the study of human breast cancer with the goal of dissecting tumor evolution and use this information to improve the clinical management of breast cancer patients. 

Main areas of interests are: (1) breast...

Stuart Orkin, M.D.

Person

The Orkin laboratory has been involved in the study of blood disorders for more than 4 decades. Research of the group has examined the development and function of the blood system, the relationship between cancer and stem cells, and the mechanisms...

Wayne A. Marasco, M.D., Ph.D.

Person

The Marasco Lab is actively working on antibody discovery for COVID-19. See their COVID-19 page to learn more.

The Marasco lab focuses on the treatment of emerging infectious diseases and cancer. Located in the Department of Cancer Immunology and...

A. Thomas Look, MD

Person

Our group is working on cancer genetics, using the zebrafish genetic system to clarify developmental pathways subverted in human leukemias and solid tumors. The zebrafish animal model provides a powerful system for genetic analysis of vertebrate...
