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.
Radhakrishnan, Ishwar
Professor
Bio
The Radhakrishnan lab studies the molecular mechanisms of transcription regulation, specifically, how DNA-bound transcription factors recruit coactivators, nucleating protein-protein interaction netwo... [more]
Schwulst, Steven
Associate Professor
Bio
Preliminary work has generated head-shielded bone marrow chimeric mice allowing for the unambiguous differentiation between infiltrating monocytes and microglia after TBI. Using this model, we have sh... [more]
Shenoy, Niraj
Associate Professor
Bio
The Shenoy Lab is interested in understanding and targeting the interactions between aberrant metabolism, epigenetic dysregulation, and immune evasion in cancer. While kidney cancer (clear cell r... [more]
Shilatifard, Ali
Professor
Bio
I hold the Robert Francis Furchgott Professorship and am the Chairman of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. I continue to run... [more]
Shukla, Vipul
Assistant Professor
Bio
My research broadly focuses on understanding the roles of cytosine modifications and alternative DNA structures in normal and cancer genomes. I am currently investigating the functions of G-quadruplex... [more]
Stranger, Barbara
Associate Professor
Bio
The goal of Dr. Stranger’s research is to understand how genetic and genomic variation contributes to complex disease, and how that varies by sex. Her cancer research is motivated by the observation... [more]
Vafabakhsh, Reza
Assistant Professor
Bio
Our laboratory research is directed along two main avenues: Firstly, we are dedicated to characterizing the mechanisms underlying the activation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) a... [more]
Varma, Dileep
Assistant Professor
Bio
The research in our lab is directed at understanding the molecular mechanisms that are involved in controlling and regulating proper kinetochore microtubule attachments in human cells. The malfunction... [more]
Wang, Ji-Ping
Professor
Bio
My research interest centers around statistical applications in bioinformatics and computational biology. I am actively engaged in developing advanced statistical and machine learning methods and tool... [more]
Wang, Lu
Assistant Professor
Bio
The recent genome-wide sequencing analysis have identified a series of novel somatic genetic alterations in patients with relevance to pathogenesis, prognostication, and therapy. Notably, these includ... [more]
