The research interest of my lab lies at the intersection of CRISPR-based genome editing and protein/cell engineering with special focus on hematopoietic stem cells and red blood cell disorders.
Our lab specializes in the analysis of highly polymorphic immunogenomic regions in the context of immune function, human health and disease, and evolutionary biology.
Clinical translational research to identify host genetic and immunologic predictors of infectious diseases (e.g., HIV and SARS-CoV-2) using high dimensional single cell and systems biology approaches.
The Corces Lab studies the genetic and epigenetic underpinnings of neurodegenerative diseases using primary human tissue, multi-omic profiling, and large-scale functional genomics assays.

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.
