Cancer Biology:

  • Adamson, Lee., at Mount Sinai Hospital
  • Archer, Michael C., at MSB
    Molecular carcinogenesis: the goal of this research program is to understand at the cellular and molecular level the mechanisms involved in th e causation of cancer.
  • Attisano, Liliana, at Terrence Donnelly CCBR
  • Aubin, Jane, at MSB
  • Barber, Dwayne L., at OCI
    Signal Transduction in Hematopoiesis
  • Ben-David, Yaacov, at SHSC
    Oncogenes involved in leukemia: molecular mechanisms underlying evolution of erythroleukemia induced by Friend virus.
  • Boyd, Norman F., at OCI

  • Danska, Jayne, at TMDT
  • Done, Susan, at OCI
  • Dumont, Dan, at SHSC
    Research on learning how development occurs in the cardiovascular system of the mouse embryo. Signals on a molecular level tell genes when to turn on and off, thus controlling the pattern of cells which determine the vascular system. Understanding the development control in the mouse embryo should provide insight into the control of tumor growth and progression.
  • Filmus, Jorge, at SHSC
    Molecular basis of tumor progression: effects of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes on growth and cell adhesion in colorectal and breast tumors.
  • Gallie, Brenda, at OCI
  • Guha, Abihijit , at HSC
  • Hakem, Razqallah, at OCI
    Molecular Mechanisms of Apoptosis and DNA Damage Repair in Animal Models
  • Hedley, David W., at OCI
    Interest is trying to understand why cancer patients develop resistance to chemotherapy, and to this end his laboratory develops basic research methods for studying drug resistance phenotypes that can be applied to human biopsy material. Laboratory methods are heavily based on advanced flow and image cytometry techniques.
  • Hill, Richard P., at OCI
