Cancer Epigenetics & Nuclear Dynamics Members
The Cancer Epigenetics & Nuclear Dynamics (CEND) program focuses on how nuclear dynamics and information flow within the cell are co-opted in cancer through altered genetic and epigenetic mechanisms.
Lackner, Laura L
Associate Professor
Bio
In the Lackner Lab, we study how mitochondria are positioned in cells. Central to mitochondrial positioning are molecular tethers, which function to anchor mitochondria to specific cellular sites. Whi... [more]
Lauberth, Shannon
Associate Professor
Bio
Our research efforts are focused on the discovery of clinically distinct alterations in the cancer cell transcriptome and epigenome and how these changes impact patient response and resistance to canc... [more]
Li, Liming
Associate Professor
Bio
Prion proteins are capable of existing in multiple stable conformations, at least one of which is infectious. It is generally accepted that prion (PrPSc) is the responsible agent for the devastating n... [more]
Liu, Yaping
Assistant Professor
Bio
The research focus of my lab is on developing and applying computational and high-throughput experimental methods in epigenomics to understand the gene regulatory roles of non-coding genetic variants ... [more]
Ma, Yongchao
Associate Professor
Bio
Our group is interested in studying the molecular and cellular mechanisms regulating mitochondrial function and metabolism in neurodevelopment and tumorigenesis. We are particularly interested in the ... [more]
Marko, John
Professor
Bio
At present my lab is focused on use of micromanipulation and imaging to analyze physical properties of chromatin in normal and cancer cells, large-scale chromosome structure, and on use of single-DNA ... [more]
Mayo, Kelly
Professor
Bio
My research is in cell signaling and the control of gene expression.
Mendillo, Marc
Assistant Professor
Bio
Cancers arise through a multistep process in which genetic and epigenetic lesions accumulate to drastically alter regulatory circuits, DNA, protein and energy metabolism. These alterations, and the in... [more]
Oliver, Guillermo
Professor
Bio
Dr. Oliver is interested in understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms controlling organogenesis, with a particular focus on the brain and lymphatic vasculature. His laboratory focus includes... [more]
Qiang, Wenan
Research Professor
Bio
My research focuses on developing clinically relevant and molecularly profiled patient-derived xenograft (PDX) tumor models that aid in understanding cancerous genetic abnormalities, identifying predi... [more]
