Our laboratory has had a longstanding interest in understanding the molecular mechanisms employed by lymphocytes to accurately respond to the signals that guide them along specific pathways.

We are interested in the chemical biology of metabolism as a mediator of the host-pathogen interaction. We focus specifically on Mycobacterium tuberculosis and its ability to both asymptomatically infect and cause disease in humans.
The goal of Dr. Salmon’s research is to identify predictors and determinants of disease phenotype in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and related diseases, and to thereby identify targets for therapy. In SLE and other ...

My laboratory has focused much of its recent activity on understanding the role of tumor-secreted exosomes in cancer metastasis (Nature Medicine, 2012; Nature Cell Biology, 2015; Nature, 2015; Cancer Cell, 2016). My lab’s current ...

We investigate (1) how UBR5, a novel protein ubiquitin ligase frequently altered in human cancers, promotes tumor metastasis by regulating epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) in a cell intrinsic manner;(2) to identify UBR5’s E3 ...

My research focuses on deciphering the role of exosomes in mediating the crosstalk between the host immune system and the tumor, and the mechanisms through which exosomes coax the immune system to contribute to ...

Insulin regulates the storage of dietary glucose by stimulating its uptake into muscle and fat. Insulin increases glucose uptake into these cells by recruiting vesicles containing the GLUT4 glucose transporter to the cell surface. ...

Dr. Ivashkiv’s laboratory investigates the pathogenic mechanisms of cytokines in inflammatory and musculoskeletal conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteolysis and orthopaedic implant loosening/failure, and systemic lupus erythematosus. He is interested in how cytokines and ...

To advance our understanding of the relationship between HIV and the human immune system primarily cytotoxic T-cells and natural killer cells.
(1) Histone functional genetic models to study epigenetic regulation of mouse hematopoiesis and immune cell development. (2) Mechanisms and function of epigenetic memory of inflammation in hematopoietic stem cells. (3) “Signaling to chromatin” and ...
