Gorrell
The ongoing increase in all forms of liver disease is a large burden for our healthcare system. Especially the 350% increase in liver cancer in the last 30 years. Much…

After centuries of cancer devastating almost half the population, the last decades of cancer research have brought unprecedented insights into the causation and treatment of this disease.

Izzo
The Izzo Laboratory investigates the immune response induced to pulmonary Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and to vaccination with new tuberculosis vaccines. The overall goal is to determine mechanisms of immunity that…

Cancer progression refers to the process by which cancer cells grow, spread, and develop into advanced stages. It involves the cancer cells continually changing and accumulating genetic alterations, leading to…
