Ash A. Alizadeh, MD/PhD

Moghadam Family Professor
Clinical Focus
Cancer > Lymphoma, Lymphoma, B-Cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia, Burkitt Lymphoma, Follicular Lymphoma, Diffuse Large-Cell Lymphomas, Leukemia, Hairy Cell, Lymphoma, B-Cell, Marginal Zone, Hodgkin Disease, Medical Oncology
Research Interests
My research is focused on attaining a better understanding of the initiation, maintenance, and progression of tumors, and their response to current therapies toward improving future treatment strategies. In this effort, I employ tools from functional genomics, computational biology, molecular genetics, and mouse models.

Clinically, I specialize in the care of patients with lymphomas, working on translating our findings in prospective cancer clinical trials.

Mike Cherry

Professor (Research) of Genetics, Emeritus
Research Interests
My research involves identifying, validating and integrating scientific facts into encyclopedic databases essential for research and scientific education. Published results of scientific experimentation are a foundation of our understanding of the natural world and provide motivation for new experiments. The combination of in-depth understanding reported in the literature with computational analyses is an essential ingredient of modern biological research.

Jesse Engreitz

Assistant Professor of Genetics
Research Interests
Regulatory elements in the human genome harbor thousands of genetic risk variants for common diseases and could reveal targets for therapeutics — if only we could map the complex regulatory wiring that connects 2 million regulatory elements with 21,000 genes in thousands of cell types in the human body.

We combine experimental and computational genomics, biochemistry, molecular biology, and genetics to assemble regulatory maps of the human genome and uncover biological mechanisms of disease.

Olivier Gevaert

Associate Professor of Medicine (Biomedical Informatics) and of Biomedical Data Science
Research Interests
My lab focuses on biomedical data fusion: the development of machine learning methods for biomedical decision support using multi-scale biomedical data. We primarily use methods based on regularized linear regression to accomplish this. We primarily focus on applications in oncology and neuroscience.

Siddhartha Jaiswal

Assistant Professor of Pathology
Clinical Focus
Transfusion Medicine, Genomics and Molecular Pathology, Anatomic and Clinical Pathology
Research Interests
We identified a common disorder of aging called clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP). CHIP occurs due to certain somatic mutations in blood stem cells and represents a precursor state for blood cancer, but is also associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and death. We hope to understand more about the biology and clinical implications of CHIP using human and model system studies.
