Dr. Li's laboratory is primarily interested in identifying and understanding sequence variations in the RNA and DNA: in particular, they focus on RNA editing where genomically encoded information is changed in the RNA.

The long-term goal of this component of Dr. Helms's research program is to elucidate the molecular and cellular mechanisms regulating normal and abnormal craniofacial development.

Dr. Ye's professional interest is to investigate the causes and consequences of the abnormal metabolic phenotypes of cancer cells in response to microenvironmental stresses such as hypoxia and nutrient deprivation, with the prospect that therapeutic approaches might be developed to target these metabolic pathways to improve cancer treatment.
