Development and regeneration of insulin-producing β cells: Diabetes is associated with a loss of β cells. The goal of the Parsons lab is to find therapeutic routes that can increase β-cell numbers and reverse a…
Wenqi Wang, Ph.D.
The central question the Wang lab is interested in investigating is what are the signaling networks underlying tissue homeostasis and organ size control as well as the role of their dysregulation in tumorigenesis….
Claudia Benavente, Ph.D.
Understanding epigenetic deregulation in pediatric cancer tumorigenesis
The Benavente Lab research interests focus on elucidating the molecular and cellular mechanisms that drive tumor progression. Our research is specifically focus on the genetic and epigenetic…
