A geneticist, molecular biologist and mathematician, Eric Lander is the Founding Director of the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT, as well as a professor of Systems Biology at Harvard Medical School and a Professor of Biology at MIT. He pioneered the...
My lab studies the interplay between the gut microbiome and the immune system and how their “miscues” can lead to autoimmune diseases, particularly type 1 diabetes. As a 2013 BBS grad, I understand what it takes to have a successful Ph.D. experience.
The...
Rafael Irizarry received his Bachelor's in Mathematics in 1993 from the University of Puerto Rico and went on to receive a Ph.D. in Statistics in 1998 from the University of California, Berkeley. His thesis work was on Statistical Models for Music Sound...
There are clear resemblances between parents and children for height, weight, and many other traits and diseases; these familial resemblances are influenced strongly by inherited genetic factors. Most common diseases (such as diabetes, obesity, or asthma...
Our laboratory studies diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, with emphasis on colorectal cancer (CRC) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We use both conventional and systems biology approaches to integrate studies of genetically engineered mouse...
The Hacohen lab consists of immunologists, geneticists, biochemists, technologists, physicians and computational biologists working together to develop new and unbiased technologies and strategies to understand basic immune processes and immune-mediated...
Technology drives biological research. A new technology can instantly provide answers that were difficult or impossible to address using current approaches. The emerging field of proteomics provides researchers an alternative/complementary strategy to...
My laboratory is focused on understanding nervous system disease using molecular genetic strategies, beginning with human patients and proceeding through in vitro and modeling studies, with the ultimate goal of improving diagnosis, management and...
