Cancer & Physical Sciences Members
The Cancer & Physical Sciences Program unites fundamental chemistry, physical sciences and bioengineering groups that focus on developing cancer-relevant therapeutic and diagnostic agents using nano-scale materials and physical sciences approaches.
Mondragon, Alfonso
Professor
Bio
Our laboratory is focused on understanding the relationship between atomic structure and biological function of important proteins and nucleic acids. Traditionally most structural work has been focuse... [more]
Mrksich, Milan
Professor
Bio
My group’s interests overlap chemistry, biology and engineering, with an emphasis on the design and synthesis of materials that are biologically active and in applications of the materials to releva... [more]
Odom, Teri
Professor
Bio
Professor Odom's group focuses on designing structured nanoscale materials with exceptional properties. We make precious metals more precious by tuning the size and shape of noble metals at the nanosc... [more]
Petersen, Christian
Professor
Bio
My research focuses on the remarkable ability possessed by select animal species such as planarians, hydra, and salamanders, to regenerate missing parts after injury. There is a great medical interest... [more]
Rivnay, Jonathan
Professor
Bio
Working at the leading edge of bioelectronics and synthetic biology, Rivnay's lab develops soft, biocompatible electronics equipped with living engineered cells that can synthesize and deliver th... [more]
Rocklin, Gabriel
Assistant Professor
Bio
We apply computational protein design and directed evolution to develop new therapeutic candidates and probes for targets in cancer. We are especially interested in developing mini protein therapeutic... [more]
Rogers, John
Professor
Bio
My group has active programs of research in materials and patterning techniques for unusual format electronics, optoelectronics, and photovoltaics; bio-integrated devices; bio-inspired device designs;... [more]
Rosenzweig, Amy
Professor
Bio
Professor Rosenzweig’s research group is focused on understanding metalloprotein function on the molecular level. They use structural, spectroscopic, biochemical, genetic, and bioinformatic approach... [more]
Scheidt, Karl
Professor
Bio
Our discoveries focus on efficient, enabling reactions and using simple organic molecules as catalysts. We have been heavily involved in the synthesis and study of multiple anti-tumor/anti-motility ag... [more]
Schiltz, Gary
Research Professor
Bio
Collaborate with faculty on translational research projects to advance basic research towards therapeutic endpoints using small molecules. In this role, I have led multiple early stage drug discovery ... [more]
