| 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 | |

| We use molecular biology, genetics and animal models to dissect how our metabolism gives rise to chemicals that damage our DNA- Wang Lab | |
![]() | Molecular mechanisms for the maintenance of genomic stability; cellular responses to DNA damage; mouse models of human cancer - lab |
| Cancer biology; stem cell biology; biochemistry and cell biology - lab | |
| Leukemia; cell growth and differentiation; oncogenes/genetics - 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. |
