As a new assistant professor at Sanford Burnham Prebys faculty, Sun seeks to better understand the genetic and epigenetic underpinnings of cancers, using genome editing technologies, animal and patient-derived models, and other tools to develop more effective cancer therapies.
Sanjeev S. Ranade, Ph.D., who joined the faculty of Sanford Burnham Prebys this month as an assistant professor in the Development, Aging and Regeneration program, studies how proteins called transcription factors (TFs) specifically control the development and function of cardiac cells — and what happens when things go wrong.
Kelly Kersten, Ph.D., who joined Sanford Burnham Prebys this month as an assistant professor in the Cancer Metabolism and Microenvironment program, studies the interactions between immune cells and their microenvironment to better understand how they contribute to anti-tumor immune responses.
Shengjie Feng, Ph.D. is an expert in cryo-electron microscopy, a Nobel Prize-winning imaging technology capable of creating stop-action movies of proteins and other biomolecules jostling and connecting with each other while mitochondria and other organelles generate energy, assemble new molecules and transport cargo. At Sanford Burnham Prebys, Feng will use cryo-EM to reveal new ways to stop or prevent cancers.
In a scientific discovery that has significant implications for preventing HIV infections, researchers at Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute have identified a protein that could improve the body’s immune response to HIV vaccines and prevent transmission of the virus.
