Tumor Environment & Metastasis Members
The Tumor Environment & Metastasis (TEAM) Program uses an integrative approach to elucidate key molecular interactions between tumor cells and components of the host stromal microenvironment including matrix, vascular structures and cells of the immune system.
Min, Booki
Professor
Bio
Foxp3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells are central regulators of immunity and tolerance. The importance of Treg cells in immunity is well demonstrated by the finding that defects in Treg cell generation or ... [more]
Misharin, Alexander
Associate Professor
Bio
I am a trained immunologist with a focus on macrophage biology. My group demonstrated that lung injury leads to accumulation and life-long persistence of monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages, which r... [more]
Miska, Jason
Assistant Professor
Bio
The goal of Dr. Miska's research is to determine how the metabolism of immune cells within glioblastoma contributes to immune suppression and tumor recurrence. Furthermore, the long-term goal of ... [more]
Mitchell, Brian
Associate Professor
Bio
Centriole Duplication. Centrioles are microtubule based structures with nine fold symmetry that are involved in both centrosome organization and aster formation during cell division. During the norm... [more]
Muller, William
Professor
Bio
My lab studies the inflammatory response at the cellular and molecular level. We are focused on the process of diapedesis, the 'point of no return' in inflammation where leukocytes squeeze between ti... [more]
Munshi, Hidayatullah
Professor
Bio
we have begun studies evaluating how the collagen microenvironment regulates mRNA translation to mediate pancreatic cancer progression. We have found that pharmacologic and genetic targeting of MNKs, ... [more]
Oliver, Guillermo
Professor
Bio
Dr. Oliver is interested in understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms controlling organogenesis, with a particular focus on the brain and lymphatic vasculature. His laboratory focus includes... [more]
Peek, Clara Bien
Assistant Professor
Bio
A major goal of the Peek laboratory is to determine how molecular clocks impact cancer growth and transcriptional reprogramming through interactions with the HIF pathway. We predict that targ... [more]
Perlman, Harris
Professor
Bio
I am Chief of Rheumatology and Director of the Lurie Cancer Center Flow Cytometry Core Facility. I have over 23 years of experience using flow cytometry and have published over 30 related manuscripts ... [more]
Pinkett, Heather W.
Associate Professor
Bio
I am currently investigating how pathogenic organisms recognize and circumvent the host innate immune response; a mechanism crucial to the evolution of antimicrobial peptide (AMP) resis... [more]
