Regular Faculty

	Rong Li Chair, Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Medicine Ross Professor of Basic Science Research Professor
	Manjari Dimri Associate Professor
	Jiyoung Lee Assistant Professor
	Raja Mazumder Professor
	Luis Rodriguez Assistant Professor
	Edward Seto King Fahd Professor of Cancer Biology Professor
	Brett Shook Associate Professor Research Interest/Lab Focus: Altered immune responses are central to tissue dysfunction and impaired healing. The Shook Lab combines modern wet- and dry-lab technologies to investigate mechanisms that regulate the immune response during skin wound healing. In particular, we are interested in cellular communication between stromal and immune cells. By investigating the intersection of inflammation and tissue repair using animal and human models, we aim to give translational value to basic science discoveries.
