Defining conserved mechanisms regulating stem cell behavior and how these are altered with age and in response to chronic or acute changes in metabolism.
Our multi-disciplinary team works on identifying and characterizing novel oncogenes and tumor suppressors in melanocytic neoplasia and understanding their biology.
We study how organisms interact with the environment -- more specifically, what happens when there are variations in oxygen levels in the atmosphere or vitamin/cofactor levels in the diet.
We investigate molecular mechanisms that contribute to the development and progression of head and neck cancer, and seek to develop novel therapeutic agents for this disease
Investigate how complex biological networks regulate precise cellular behaviors and how dis-regulation leads to disease.
