Jonathan Abraham

abraham@crystal.harvard.edu

Associate Professor of Microbiology

We use methods in molecular biology, immunology, and structural biology to study host-pathogen interactions, with the goal of informing strategies aimed at treating or preventing infection. Several enveloped RNA viruses cause human viral hemorrhagic...

Omar Abudayyeh

oabudayyeh@bwh.harvard.edu

Assistant Professor

The Abudayyeh-Gootenberg lab, based at the Mass General Brigham Gene and Cell Therapy Institute, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and Harvard Medical School, is dedicated to exploring programmable systems in biology for the development of molecular...

Rosalyn Adam

rosalyn.adam@childrens.harvard.edu

Associate Professor of Surgery

I am the director of urology research at Boston Children's Hospital and a cell biologist and biochemist by training. Research in my laboratory focuses on studies investigating the molecular basis of hollow organ pathobiology, with a focus on tissue...

Karen Adelman

karen_adelman@hms.harvard.edu

Professor of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology

The Adelman lab aims to elucidate how cells react in a rapid yet balanced manner to external signals, at the transcriptional and epigenetic level. We use a combination of genomics, genetics and biochemistry to study the dynamics of gene expression, with a...

Suneet Agarwal

suneet.agarwal@childrens.harvard.edu

Associate Professor of Pediatrics

Certain genetic disorders cause widespread disease in the body, but the principle reason for illness and death in early childhood is failure of the blood system. We would like to study these genetic blood disorders by “turning back the clock” – using new...

Cristina Aguayo-Mazzucato

cristina.aguayo-mazzucato@joslin.harvard.edu

Assistant Professor of Medicine

The Aguayo-Mazzucato Lab is interested in studying the aging process of pancreatic beta cells and how it contributes to the development of diabetes. Additionally, we are interested in identifying pharmacological and non-pharmacological senolytic...

Judith Agudo

Judith_Agudo@DFCI.HARVARD.EDU

Assistant Professor of Immunology

We are interested in elucidating the mechanisms controlling immune privilege of tissue-resident stem cells and cancer stem cells. Stem cells are crucial for tissue homeostasis and regeneration and, as a consequence, some have evolved mechanisms to cloak...

Andrew Aguirre

andrew_aguirre@dfci.harvard.edu

Assistant Professor of Medicine

Our laboratory at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is a basic and translational oncology laboratory focused on studying pancreatic cancer and other RAS-driven malignancies. We utilize genomic, functional genetic, molecular and cell biology approaches to...

Corey Allard

corey_allard@hms.harvard.edu

Assistant Professor

Our lab studies the molecular and cellular basis of novel organismic physiology and behavior. We emphasize curiosity-driven science and exploration, using comparative approaches featuring a range of unusual and specialized organisms that are uniquely...

Fred Alt

alt@enders.tch.harvard.edu

Professor of Pediatrics

The broad focus of the Alt lab is the elucidation of mechanisms that generate antigen receptor diversity in the Immune system and mechanisms that maintain genomic stability in mammalian cells. Over the past decade we have developed remarkably sensitive...

Ryoji Amamoto

ramamoto@meei.harvard.edu

Assistant Professor

Our lab’s long-term goal is to create a novel gene therapy-based therapeutic to preserve and restore healthy vision for patients suffering from diseases that cause irreversible blindness. In particular, we study a disease called Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP)...

Paul Joseph Anderson

panderson@rics.bwh.harvard.edu

K. Frank Austen Professor of Medicine

Messenger RNA is in constant flux between different locations and states -- the nucleus and cytoplasm, activation and silencing, translation and decay. Classical nuclear bodies such as nucleoli and nuclear speckles are self-generated RNA structures whose...
