Eva Ge — Dr. Eva Ge's research focuses on understanding how a protein called CCS (Copper Chaperone for Superoxide Dismutase) regulates copper levels in cells. This is important because too much or too little copper can lead to serious diseases like cancer and neurodegeneration. The lab employs various techniques to study how the phosphorylation of CCS affects its ability to manage copper and maintain cellular health. By investigating these mechanisms, the lab aims to discover new treatments for diseases associated with copper imbalance.
Junya Tomida — Dr. Junya Tomida's research lab focuses on understanding the complex interactions between the DNA repair factor REV7 and the tumor suppressor protein p53, which plays a key role in preventing cancer. The lab studies how REV7 regulates p53 protein levels and activity, especially in the context of various DNA damage conditions. By uncovering the mechanisms behind these interactions, the lab aims to identify new insights into cancer development and potential therapeutic targets.
Danillo G Augusto — Dr. Danillo Augusto's lab focuses on understanding pemphigus, an autoimmune disease that causes severe skin blistering. By using advanced genetic and immunological techniques, the lab aims to uncover the genetic factors that make certain individuals susceptible to this disease, especially in areas where environmental triggers are present. This research could lead to new insights into autoimmune diseases and potential treatments.
Minhaj Nur Alam — The research lab led by Minhaj Nur Alam focuses on using advanced machine learning techniques to improve the diagnosis and treatment of diabetic retinopathy, a significant cause of vision loss. By utilizing federated learning and multi-modal optical coherence tomography data, the lab develops powerful AI models that can analyze complex imaging data from multiple institutions while maintaining patient privacy. Their work aims to enhance early detection and treatment outcomes for patients suffering from diabetic retinopathy.
