Research Focus
Dr. Judy H. Cho's lab at the Icahn School of Medicine focuses on understanding the genetic and molecular mechanisms behind inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), particularly Crohn's disease. The research explores how specific genetic mutations affect blood cells and tissue response, especially in challenging cases like perianal fistulae. Through advanced techniques like single-cell transcriptomics and multi-omic analysis, the lab aims to identify new therapeutic targets and improve patient outcomes in IBD.

Career totals from OpenAlex, compared against labs that share a department. A department spans everything from one paper to tens of thousands, so bar heights are on a log scale — otherwise the largest lab would flatten every other bar to a line.
