Jose Angel Nicolas Avila, PhD

Primary Thematic Area: 
Immunology
Secondary Thematic Area: 
Vascular & Cardiac Biology
Research Summary: 
At the Nicolas-Avila Lab, we explore the mechanisms by which immune cells contribute to tissue function and develop strategies to improve organismal health through immunomodulation.

Basic and translational research of treatment resistance in cancers of the nervous system using high throughput functional genomics and epigenetic engineering approaches.

Jeannette Tenthorey, PhD

Primary Thematic Area: 
Immunology
Secondary Thematic Area: 
Virology & Microbial Pathogenesis
Research Summary: 
We study how the innate immune system (the body’s first line of immune defense) evolves to defend us against the vast and fast-changing world of viruses.

David Booth, PhD

Secondary Thematic Area: 
None
Research Summary: 
With a combination of molecular genetics, biochemistry, functional genomics, and cell biology, we are exploring the molecular mechanisms and environmental cues that govern the transitions between different choanoflagellates cell types.
