Cherry Lab
The Cherry Lab is interested in emerging and globally important arthropod-borne viruses including the three major families that infect humans: the flaviviruses, alphaviruses and bunyaviruses. The Lab uses chemical and genetic screening technologies to perform a wide array of cell-based screens in human and insect cells studying emerging RNA viruses.
Principal Investigator: Sara Cherry, PhD

Setia Verma Lab
The Setia-Verma lab specializes in genomic discoveries, uncovering the genetic basis of diseases and identifying key variants. They employ integrative omics, using machine learning to understand complex gene interactions and environmental influences. Additionally, they enhance risk prediction by integrating genetic and non-genetic factors, creating personalized disease prediction models for better accuracy.

Oldridge Lab
The Oldridge lab studies the intricate spatial biology of intact tissues, combining cutting-edge spatialomic techniques with advanced computational, statistical, and AI-driven analytic methods. These approaches are used to deeply profile tissues with hundreds to thousands of molecular markers in a spatially detailed manner, in order to better understand the molecular, cellular, and structural basis of human health and disease.
