    Dr. Wendy Gu's group studies the mechanical behavior of nanomaterials. They work at the intersection of solid mechanics, materials science and nano-chemistry. They research the unique properties of nanoscale metals, ceramics and nano-architected composites in order to design strong, tough and lightweight structural materials, materials for extreme environments, and mechanically-actuated sensors. The Gu group's experimental tools include nanoindentation, electron microscopy, and colloidal synthesis.

    Dr. Wendy Fantl’s lab studies two key questions with unmet clinical need related to drug resistance and immunotherapy focusing on ovarian and kidney cancers. The lab applies multi-parametric single-cell proteomic technologies (mass cytometry aka Cytometry by Time-Of-Flight (CyTOF) and multiplex imaging (CO-Detection by indEXing (CODEX)) combined with specialized computational approaches to address these questions.
