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.
Mitchell, Brian
Associate Professor
Bio
Centriole Duplication. Centrioles are microtubule based structures with nine fold symmetry that are involved in both centrosome organization and aster formation during cell division. During the norm... [more]
Morales-Nebreda, Luisa
Assistant Professor
Bio
My research program focuses on determinants of recovery from viral pneumonia in aged hosts. In the context of viral-induced lung injury, my laboratory aims to identify novel inter-cellular signaling p... [more]
Muller, William
Professor
Bio
My lab studies the inflammatory response at the cellular and molecular level. We are focused on the process of diapedesis, the 'point of no return' in inflammation where leukocytes squeeze between ti... [more]
Munshi, Hidayatullah
Professor
Bio
we have begun studies evaluating how the collagen microenvironment regulates mRNA translation to mediate pancreatic cancer progression. We have found that pharmacologic and genetic targeting of MNKs, ... [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]
Ozdinler, P. Hande
Associate Professor
Bio
I am interested in genes, canonical pathways and networks that are selectively altered in vulnerable neuron populations in diseases. Our current findings reveal a very close, and at times an inverse r... [more]
Paller, Amy
Professor
Bio
I maintain an active bench laboratory focusing on wound healing research and, in collaboration with our nanotechnology program, on gene suppression through topical delivery. I have been a leader in in... [more]
Peek, Clara Bien
Assistant Professor
Bio
A major goal of the Peek laboratory is to determine how molecular clocks impact cancer growth and transcriptional reprogramming through interactions with the HIF pathway. We predict that targ... [more]
Penaloza-MacMaster, Pablo
Assistant Professor
Bio
The goal of Dr. Penaloza's research is to understand the basic mechanisms of immune regulation and to use this information to develop vaccines and regimens against chronic infections, such as HIV and ... [more]
Perlman, Harris
Professor
Bio
I am Chief of Rheumatology and Director of the Lurie Cancer Center Flow Cytometry Core Facility. I have over 23 years of experience using flow cytometry and have published over 30 related manuscripts ... [more]
