The Roose lab focuses on understanding cell fate decisions driven by cell-cell interactions and signaling pathways, in the context of cancer, autoimmune diseases, and COVID-19. Our collaborative research programs benefit from many technology platforms, such as organoids, CyTOF, single cell RNAseq, spectral flow, mouse models, and patient samples. Dr. Roose is a co-founder of the Bakar ImmunoX initiative at UCSF and a co-lead investigator on the UCSF Endeavor Program that focuses on cancer metastasis, funded through the Mark Foundation for Cancer Research.

Most recently, we have identified rules of epithelial-immune cell crosstalk in metastatic cancer (Gonzalez, Cell 2022. PMID35063085), we have developed organoids co-cultured with immune cells (unpublished work), and we are testing hypotheses of the crosstalk in organoids, informed by large omics datasets.

Couple of words about myself; I trained with Profs. Hans Clevers and Art Weiss, obtaining cancer- and immune- expertise. I started my own group at UCSF in 2007, I am now full Professor and also Vice Chair of my Anatomy Department at UCSF.
