| Cancer metabolism and therapeutic opportunities | |
| Dr. Peralta's research interests include:
|
| membrane protein trafficking and quality control mechanisms - lab | |
| Role of cellular protein, lipids, and glycans play in viral infection |
| The Simmons lab focuses on the role that lipids play in the regulation of inflammatory and other immunological processes in the tumor microenvironment. Using 3-Dimensional bioprinting technology, we are developing novel patient-derived in vitro tumor models for testing various therapeutic approaches in non-small cell lung carcinoma. -lab | |

![]() | The Yu group performs research in the broad areas of Network Systems Biology. We use integrated computational-experimental systems biology approaches to determine protein interactions and complex structures on the scale of the whole cell. In particular, we focus on protein-protein and gene regulatory networks and seek to understand how such intricate systems evolve and how their perturbations lead to human diseases, especially autism spectrum disorder and cancer. |
