Cancer Epigenetics & Nuclear Dynamics Members
The Cancer Epigenetics & Nuclear Dynamics (CEND) program focuses on how nuclear dynamics and information flow within the cell are co-opted in cancer through altered genetic and epigenetic mechanisms.
Eichner, Lillian
Assistant Professor
Bio
The focus of the Eichner lab is to elucidate transcriptional dependencies at the intersection of epigenetics, signaling, and metabolism to reveal and harness targetable vulnerabilities in cancer. Our... [more]
Foltz, Daniel
Professor
Bio
I have consistently made essential contributions to the epigenetics field and continue to produce new paradigms of centromere specification and function. These include the identification of novel chro... [more]
Gao, Ruli
Assistant Professor
Bio
The research projects in my lab are centered around developing and applying single cell long-read sequencing technologies and computational algorithms onto patient tumors to delineate the tumorigenic ... [more]
Gottwein, Eva
Associate Professor
Bio
Our research is focused on the role of viral microRNAs in herpesviral oncogenesis.
He, Yuan
Associate Professor
Bio
My research program focuses on the molecular mechanisms by which large, multi-subunit complexes engage in DNA-centric processes. We are currently focusing on two major topics: (1) how gene transcripti... [more]
Ho, Karen
Associate Professor
Bio
One specific area of interest is butyrate, a short chain fatty acid produced by gut microbial fermentation of dietary fiber which is an important metabolic substrate in normal colonic epithelial cells... [more]
Huang, Sui
Associate Professor
Bio
To identify complex phenotypic markers for malignancy, we have studied the morphological distinctions in nuclear structures between normal and cancer cells. We identified the perinucleolar compartment... [more]
Ji, Peng
Professor
Bio
The research in my laboratory focuses on the studies of normal hematopoiesis and myeloid malignancies. Major research areas include: 1) Mechanistic studies of chromatin condensation during e... [more]
Ji, Zhe
Assistant Professor
Bio
Our group use high-throughput genomic technologies and computational modeling to study the regulation of gene transcription and RNA translation underlying oncogenic processes. We aim at revealing nove... [more]
Kim, Ji-Yong Julie
Professor
Bio
In particular, my lab is interested in deciphering molecular mechanisms of progesterone receptor (PR) action in endometrial cancer and breast cancer. As PR action is context dependent, its role in the... [more]
