  Research Interest

  Translational bioinformatics has been defined as the development of analytic methods to help transform increasingly voluminous genomic and biological data into diagnostics and therapeutics for the clinician. The long-term research goal of the Butte Lab is to develop translational bioinformatics methods to reason over many available genome-scale measurement and experimental modalities, and apply these methods to study complex disorders in genomic medicine, especially obesity and diabetes.

  Research Interest

  Our goal is to define the molecular basis of cancer initiation and progression, focusing on the RB (retinoblastoma) tumor suppressor gene family. In particular, we investigate how RB and its family members p107 and p130 control embryonic and adult stem cells to ensure normal development and prevent cancer.

  Research Interest

  Our laboratory is devoted to the analysis of pathways involved in the initiation, progression, and maintenance of cancer. Utilizing the mouse as a model system, we strive to understand aberrant oncogenic signaling, the role of the tumor microenvironment and the mechanisms involved in chemotherapy response and resistance at the molecular, cellular, and organismal levels.
