Integrity. Service. Excellence. Enjoyment.
Our mission is to serve humankind through research and education.
We strive to produce scientific discoveries that improve the human experience and to contribute to a more enlightened society.
Our vision is a future where medicine is humane, personalized, precise and affordable.
We envision a future in which the molecular and cellular understanding of health and disease will be so advanced that patients will no longer fear hospitals, doctors and insurance companies. Our team predicts transformative scientific advances that will enable the precise diagnosis and treatment of any disease at an affordable price.
We are a transdisciplinary team of scientists employing a wide range of approaches, from biochemistry to data science and clinical trials.
Our main research goal is to understand how gene networks control cell behavior in homeostasis and human disease. The lab’s main focus areas are cancer biology, Down syndrome and COVID-19.
“We strive to perform scientific research that is relevant and significant. In order to identify areas of research where we can make an important contribution, we search for scientific problems that fulfill our human need for Integrity, Service, Excellence and Enjoyment.”
