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.
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

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]
