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.

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]

Sosa-Pineda, Beatriz

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]

Sumagin, Ronen

Sumagin, Ronen

Associate Professor

Bio

Studies in Dr. Sumagin’s laboratory are focused on determining the contributions of immune cell-mediated inflammation to development and progression of colorectal cancers. Immune cells are critical ... [more]

Tetreault, Marie-Pier

Assistant Professor

Bio

A particular area of expertise of my laboratory is in defining the role of epithelial inflammatory mediators in esophageal tissue homeostasis and esophageal disease pathogenesis. Our diseases of inter... [more]

Thorp, Edward

Bio

My laboratory examines the cell and molecular biology of inflammation and its resolution, which are key disease contributing factors in the tumor microenvironment. Although most of our in vivo tests p... [more]

Troyanovsky, Sergey

Bio

Dr. Troyanovsky’s research focuses on cadherin, intercellular, adhesion, and signaling. Classic cadherins are critical proteins mediating cell-cell adhesion and various signaling pathways responsib... [more]

Walsh, Derek

Walsh, Derek

Professor

Bio

Research in our laboratory focuses on two aspects of DNA virus biology: 1) How poxviruses take control of host ribosomes and cell signaling pathways. 2) How herpesviruses, such as human... [more]

Wang, Chyung-Ru

Bio

My research focuses on the immune function of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class Ib molecules in normal and diseased states. My lab is interested in understanding how MHC class Ib-restricted... [more]

Weinberg, Samuel

Weinberg, Samuel

Assistant Professor

Bio

My group's research focuses on determining how cell-intrinsic and environmental metabolic alterations influence immune cell function and shape immunity, with the long-term goal of identifying cli... [more]
