Dr. Sunil Chauhan is an immunologist and translational scientist whose research focuses on transplantation immunology, regenerative immunology, and immune regulation in tissue injury. His work has advanced the understanding of immune mechanisms governing...

Osteoporosis is a major public health problem in our aging population. Fragility fractures cause pain, lack of functional independence, and increased mortality. New therapeutic strategies are sorely needed to boost bone formation and cure osteoporosis. In...

The Franklin laboratory is focused on understanding fundamental biological principles at the intersection of immunology and regenerative biology.

Currently, we study the role of immune cells in tissue building and rebuilding in the context of injury...

José Ordovas-Montañes seeks to understand the principles of how inflammation drives memory formation in human barrier tissues, in order to program and re-program them in disease.

We are developing a training environment where we apply emerging techniques...

The Dou laboratory seeks to understand the biology of aging and to develop new strategies for intervening in age-related diseases. 

The Dou lab investigates the intersection of aging and cancer, with a particular emphasis on nuclear events. Their...

Dr. Vijay Sankaran’s laboratory studies how human genetic variation impacts human blood cell production or hematopoiesis in health and disease.

The Sankaran Laboratory utilizes human genetics to refine our understanding of hematopoiesis and how this...

Markus Frank's laboratory defined a novel function for ABCB5 in cancer stem cell maintenance and tumor growth, and investigates the therapeutic efficacy of ABCB5 targeting in melanoma and additional ABCB5-expressing human malignancies.

Research in the...

The Murphy lab studies scarless healing during fetal development and “stem cell burnout” during aging, with the goal of coaxing skin stem cells into healing wounds by regenerating tissue instead of forming a scar.

The Murphy Laboratory focuses on...

The Mathis lab studies T cell differentiation and tolerance/autoimmunity, translating mechanistic studies on mouse models to normal and diseased humans.

Research on T cell differentiation in the Mathis group focus on maturation and selection of the T...

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...
