Robert Chase

Emeritus Faculty, Acad Council, Surgery - Anatomy

Research Interest

Research in teaching technology Computer assisted teaching programs

Nicholas Denko

Member, Stanford Cancer Institute - Radiation Biology

Research Interest

We are interested in the biologic effect of gene expression changes that occur in the solid tumor. Many of these expression changes are due to the micro-physiology within the tumor. Several of these genes have been implicated in driving malignant progression and/or regulating response to therapeutic intervention. We hope to use these molecular changes to develop novel targeted therapies that take advantage of tumor specific gene expression changes.

Alejandro Sweet-Cordero

Associate Professor (Research), Pediatrics - Cancer Biology

Clinical Focus

Ewing's sarcoma,
Osteosarcoma,
Pediatric Hematology-Oncology

Research Interest

Our laboratory is devoted to the analysis of pathways involved in the initiation, progression, and maintenance of cancer. Utilizing the mouse as a model system, we strive to understand aberrant oncogenic signaling, the role of the tumor microenvironment and the mechanisms involved in chemotherapy response and resistance at the molecular, cellular, and organismal levels.

Katrin Andreasson

Associate Professor - Med Center Line, Neurology & Neurological Sciences

Clinical Focus

Neurology

Research Interest

Our research focuses on understanding disease mechanisms of stroke injury and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) as they relate to the COX-2-prostaglandin pathways. We are identifying prostaglandin receptor pathways that are involved in these disease models, and our objective is to identify which receptors will be translationally relevant in human neurological disease.
