The major focus of Dr. Alizadeh's research group is to attain a better understanding of the initiation, maintenance, and progression of lymphoid tumors, and their response to existing and novel therapies toward improving current treatment strategies.

Professor Andriacchi's research focuses on the biomechanics of human locomotion and its biomedical applications to artificial joints, sports injury, osteoarthritis, and neuromuscular disorders.

The goal of Dr. Annes's laboratory is to translate their laboratory discoveries to the treatment of hereditary endocrine disorders.

The Artandi lab is interested in unraveling the molecular and cellular mechanisms according to which telomeres and telomerase modulate stem cell function and carcinogenesis.

The overarching goal of the research in Dr. Axelrod's lab is to understand how signal transduction pathways regulate morphogenesis - the emergence of spatial organization - during development.

Dr. Jardetzky's laboratory is studying the structures and mechanisms of macromolecular complexes important in viral pathogenesis, allergic hypersensitivities and the regulation of cellular growth and differentiation, with an interest in uncovering novel conceptual approaches to intervening in disease processes.

Dr. Jeffrey's research currently involves extracting and profiling circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from blood and bone marrow to shed light on the metastatic process and eventually to help guide selection of appropriate therapies in individual cancer patients.

Dr. Kaiser's laboratory group studies fruiting body development and motility of the bacterium Myxococcus xanthus.

Dr. Kanan develops new catalysts and chemical reactions for applications in renewable energy conversion and CO₂ utilization.
