Kimberly Stegmaier

Kimberly_Stegmaier@dfci.harvard.edu

Professor of Pediatrics

My research program focuses on the integration of "omic" approaches for the identification of new protein targets and small-molecule modulators of malignancy with an eye toward clinical translation. Cancer discovery efforts in my laboratory have focused...

Shamil R. Sunyaev

To drive precision cancer medicine through clinical computational oncology: Creating the engine to clinically interpret a patient's cancer genome Discovering response and resistance mechanisms to cancer therapies through patient-centered molecular...

Peter van Galen

pvangalen@bwh.harvard.edu

Assistant Professor of Medicine

The Van Galen Laboratory studies molecular mechanisms that sustain the human blood system throughout life. Specific projects focus hematopoietic stem cell biology, diminished immune cell function with age and changes that underly the development of blood...

Ignacio Vazquez-Garcia

ivazquez-garcia@mgh.harvard.edu

Assistant Professor of Pathology

Our lab is interested in studying the mechanisms of spatio-temporal tumor evolution, progression and therapy response. Our current research focuses on scalable inference methods and modeling of single-cell genomic and in situ imaging data to study the co...

Ulrich H. von Andrian

Edward Mallinckrodt Jr. Professor of Immunopathology

We are trying to understand how circulating cells manage to leave the blood stream and home to distinct organs or tissues where they may have crucial physiologic functions or may cause disease. Despite considerable progress in this field, it is still...

Christopher A. Walsh

christopher.walsh@childrens.harvard.edu

Bullard Professor of Pediatrics and Neurology

Our lab is interested in identifying mechanisms that regulate the normal development and function of the human cerebral cortex. The cortex is the largest structure in the brain, essential for the intellectual functions that we humans pride ourselves on...

Johannes Walter

johannes_walter@hms.harvard.edu

Professor of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology

We use frog egg extracts to study the molecular mechanisms underlying DNA replication and repair, and how these processes go awry in human disease. We are working on the following areas: 1. DNA cross-link repair. Our cells are constantly exposed to...

Kun-Hsing_Yu@hms.harvard.edu

Assistant Professor of Biomedical Informatics

Kun-Hsing "Kun" Yu, MD, PhD is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Informatics at Harvard Medical School. His lab integrates cancer patients' multi-omics (genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics) profiles with...

Timothy W. Yu

timothy.yu@childrens.harvard.edu

Associate Professor of Pediatrics

Our lab's projects lie at the intersection of genetics, neurobiology, and bioinformatics, which we apply to understand (and treat) rare pediatric neurologic diseases. Autism genetics and neurobiology: We apply whole exome and whole genome sequencing to...
