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.
Pham, Thao
Research Assistant Professor
Bio
I am interested in understanding how the interactions between cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment determine therapeutic responses, and the lack thereof, in pancreatic cancer. I have previously... [more]
Pinkett, Heather W.
Associate Professor
Bio
I am currently investigating how pathogenic organisms recognize and circumvent the host innate immune response; a mechanism crucial to the evolution of antimicrobial peptide (AMP) resis... [more]
Prakriya, Murali
Professor
Bio
Our long-term goal is to elucidate how the functional interaction of Orai channels with chemokines drives the proliferative and migratory propensity of brain cancers, especially in the progre... [more]
Quaggin, Susan
Professor
Bio
I am a physician-scientist with a translational research lab, Director of the Feinberg Cardiovascular and Renal Research Institute and Chief of the Division of Nephrology/Hypertension at Northwes... [more]
Saleiro, Diana
Research Assistant Professor
Bio
Dr. Saleiro's goal is to identify novel targetable molecules within the interferon (IFN) pathways to enhance IFN-mediated anti-cancer effects. IFNs are considered potent cytokines with ... [more]
Satchell, Karla
Professor
Bio
My interest in the mechanisms of action of bacterial protein toxins spans over 27 years. I first started working on RTX toxins in 1988 as a research tech in pharmacology shortly after earning my under... [more]
Scott, Evan A
Associate Professor
Bio
The research objective of the Scott laboratory is to investigate the basic inflammatory and immunological processes contributing to diverse pathologies and develop targeted therapeutic approaches usin... [more]
Shields, Mario
Research Associate Professor
Bio
His current focus of research is in the role of G-proteins in pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer.
Song, Chisu
Research Assistant Professor
Bio
The main focus of my research is to investigate contributions of APOBEC3-mediated mutations in human cancer especially in non-AIDS defining cancer. Recently it has been well documented that more than ... [more]
Sosa-Pineda, Beatriz
Professor
Bio
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most lethal forms of cancer, with a 5-year survival rate of less than 5%. In my lab we use mouse models of the disease and primary cultures from t... [more]
