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.
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]
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]
Mendillo, Marc
Associate 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]
Shenoy, Niraj
Associate Professor
Bio
The Shenoy Lab is interested in understanding and targeting the interactions between aberrant metabolism, epigenetic dysregulation, and immune evasion in cancer. While kidney cancer (clear cell r... [more]
Shilatifard, Ali
Professor
Bio
I hold the Robert Francis Furchgott Professorship and am the Chairman of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. I continue to run... [more]
Shukla, Vipul
Assistant Professor
Bio
My research broadly focuses on understanding the roles of cytosine modifications and alternative DNA structures in normal and cancer genomes. I am currently investigating the functions of G-quadruplex... [more]
Stranger, Barbara
Associate Professor
Bio
The goal of Dr. Stranger’s research is to understand how genetic and genomic variation contributes to complex disease, and how that varies by sex. Her cancer research is motivated by the observation... [more]
