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.

Lambris Lab
The Lambris Lab consists of an international and interdisciplinary team that investigates the various aspects of innate immunity, and particularly the complement system, in health and disease. The integrated research approach encompasses projects such as the quantitative analysis of protein-protein interactions of complement components, the development of therapeutic complement inhibitors (e.g. Compstatin), complement evasion by human pathogens, and the role of complement in liver regeneration and cancer development.

Ninety percent of children and adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who had relapsed multiple times or failed to respond to standard therapies went into remission after receiving an investigational personalized cellular therapy, CTL019, developed at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. The unprecedented results are published this week in The New England Journal of Medicine.
