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.
Wang, Xiaozhong
Professor
Bio
Genetic manipulations in mouse embryonic cells provide a very useful platform to unveil in vivo functions of human genes, particularly for those health-related genes such as cancers. The Wang labor... [more]
Weiss, Eric
Associate Professor
Bio
Dr. Weiss's laboratory is interested in understanding how protein kinase signaling pathways coordinate cytoskeleton organization, membrane traffic, and gene expression to define cell architecture. ... [more]
Wignall, Sadie
Associate Professor
Bio
Proper segregation of chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis depends upon the formation of a bipolar spindle. In most cell types, duplicated centrosomes contribute to spindle assembly by nucleating m... [more]
Yang, Rendong
Associate Professor
Bio
The Yang Lab is interested in the integrative analysis of large-scale datasets to understand the initiation and progression of diseases. The research projects involve in the development of highly accu... [more]
Yi, Yang
Research Assistant Professor
Bio
The goal of Dr. Yi’s research centers on uncovering the previously unrecognized functions of epigenetic modification during normal and pathological bioprocesses, and decoding the potential crosstalk... [more]
Yue, Feng
Professor
Bio
The long-term goal of Dr. Yue's group is to use a combination of high throughput genomics, computational modeling, and functional assays to study how genetic variants contribute to the pathogenes... [more]
Zhang, Wei
Professor
Bio
Dr. Zhang's major research interests include the genetics and epigenetics of complex traits, such as risks for common diseases, drug response, and gene expression. Dr. Zhang is also developing novel e... [more]
Zhao, Hong
Research Professor
Bio
I have focused on steroid-related aspects of human physiology and disease using a variety of methods and techniques, including cell lines, human specimens, and various novel transgenic mouse models. I... [more]
Zhao, Zibo
Assistant Professor
Bio
Genome instability and mutation is one of the enabling characteristics of cancer. Epigenetic factor mutations, including MLL3/4-UTX-COMPASS are prevalent in human cancers and developmental diseases. D... [more]
