Tumor Environment & Metastasis Members
The Tumor Environment & Metastasis (TEAM) Program uses an integrative approach to elucidate key molecular interactions between tumor cells and components of the host stromal microenvironment including matrix, vascular structures and cells of the immune system.
Sumagin, Ronen
Associate Professor
Bio
Studies in Dr. Sumagin’s laboratory are focused on determining the contributions of immune cell-mediated inflammation to development and progression of colorectal cancers. Immune cells are critical ... [more]
Tetreault, Marie-Pier
Assistant Professor

A particular area of expertise of my laboratory is in defining the role of epithelial inflammatory mediators in esophageal tissue homeostasis and esophageal disease pathogenesis. Our diseases of inter... [more]
Thorp, Edward
Professor
Bio
My laboratory examines the cell and molecular biology of inflammation and its resolution, which are key disease contributing factors in the tumor microenvironment. Although most of our in vivo tests p... [more]
Tong, Xin
Research Assistant Professor

I am interested in signal transduction in cancer biology, development of new strategies for cancer prevention and identification of novel targets for better treatment. Currently my studies are focused... [more]
Troyanovsky, Sergey
Professor
Bio
Dr. Troyanovsky’s research focuses on cadherin, intercellular, adhesion, and signaling. Classic cadherins are critical proteins mediating cell-cell adhesion and various signaling pathways responsib... [more]
Walsh, Derek
Professor
Bio
Research in our laboratory focuses on two aspects of DNA virus biology: 1) How poxviruses take control of host ribosomes and cell signaling pathways. 2) How herpesviruses, such as human... [more]
Wang, Chyung-Ru
Professor
Bio
My research focuses on the immune function of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class Ib molecules in normal and diseased states. My lab is interested in understanding how MHC class Ib-restricted... [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]
Wu, Jennifer
Professor
Bio
Research in my laboratory include these specific aspects: 1) mechanisms of cancer immune evasion; 2) development of novel cancer immunotherapy; 3) Immune therapy-related mucosal toxicity; 4) mechanism... [more]
Yi, Rui
Professor
Bio
Mammalian skin and its appendages function as the outermost barrier of the body to protect inner organs from environmental hazards and keep essential fluid within. Our research program studies mechani... [more]
