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.
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]
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]
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]
