Lurie Cancer Center Members
Membership in the Lurie Cancer Center is based on the investigator's cancer research focus and scholarly activity. A program assignment recommendation is made by the Executive Committee with final approval issued by the cancer center's director. Full members are assigned to a program in the Basic Science Research Division, the Clinical Science Research Division or the Cancer Prevention & Control Research Division. All members are welcome and encouraged to participate in any educational activities initiated by the Lurie Cancer Center.

I am an immunologist with broad expertise in studying T cell response during viral, bacterial infection and tumorigenesis. My research interest has mainly focused on how cytokine signals and genetic p... [more]
D'Aquila, Richard
Professor
Bio
Study of HIV persistence aims to develop a functional cure. This includes discovery of approaches to modulate cell proteins such as APOBEC3s, and translation to proof-of-concept clinical trials.
Dinner, Shira N
Associate Professor

Dr. Dinner is a clinical researcher with an interest in novel molecularly targeted therapies for leukemias, in particular acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Development of future clinical t... [more]
Dmello, Crismita
Research Assistant Professor
Bio
My central hypothesis is that glioma cell-specific Chek2-YBX1/3 interaction transcriptionally reprograms the glioma cells to escape the CD8 T cell mediated killing.
