Lurie Cancer Center Members
Membership in the Lurie Cancer Center is based on the investigator's cancer research focus and scholarly activity. A program assignment recommendation is made by the Executive Committee with final approval issued by the cancer center's director. Full members are assigned to a program in the Basic Science Research Division, the Clinical Science Research Division or the Cancer Prevention & Control Research Division. All members are welcome and encouraged to participate in any educational activities initiated by the Lurie Cancer Center.
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]

Weinstein, Joanna L.
Associate Professor
Bio
My clinical and research areas of interest include RETINOBLASTOMA, LYMPHOMAS(both Non-Hodgkin and Hodgkin subtypes), and the HISTIOCYTOSES. Our retinoblastoma team includes oncologists, oph... [more]
Weiss, Eric
Associate Professor

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]

Winter's clinical and research interests focus on the malignant lymphomas (both Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin), particularly the development of novel therapies and the investigation of clinical and biologic... [more]
Wolf, Michael
Professor
Bio
My work focuses on 1) the study of cognitive, psychosocial, and health system factors that affect a person's ability to successfully manage health, and 2) the design of practical, scalable interventio... [more]
Woloschak, Gayle E.
Professor
Bio
Dr. Woloschak is developing for intracellular use a new type of bio-nanocomposite that has novel functional properties inside cells and in vitro. These nanocomposites are composed of metal oxide (TiO2... [more]
Wu, Jane
Professor
Bio
Dr. Wu is interested in understanding how genetic mutations affect the expression and function of genes important for cell death and critical for the pathogenesis of cancer. She focuses on two areas ... [more]
