Surgical Science
About Us
Our research is dedicated to new discoveries that will impact patient care and population health. Here we highlight the cutting edge and transformative laboratory based and translational research being done by faculty and trainees in the Division of General Surgery. The goal of our Surgical Science Section is to foster and promote innovative research, facilitate transdisciplinary collaborations and train the next generation of surgeon scientist with an interest in laboratory based and translation research. As you can see the investigators interests in the surgical science section spans basic mechanistic studies to translational research with near-term potential to impact patient care.
Surgical Science Faculty
Delitto Lab
Investigating antitumor immunity through the lens of fibrosis.
Kirane Lab
We are a diverse team of immunologists, chemists, molecular biologists, surgeons, bioengineers, and bioinformatics specialists, researching innovative and novel solutions to immunotherapy resistance in melanoma.
Work-in-Progress Seminars
Work-in-Progress Seminars (WIPS) will occur on last Tuesday every month from 3-4pm and will focus on basic and translational science, with a flexible format.
Examples:
• a senior postdoc can present a recently published or nearly completed project
• a graduate student can get feedback on their proposed research project for their quals,
• a PI can present a plan for their upcoming K08 submission.
To ensure confidentiality while presenting unpublished data, and create a safe space for constructive feedback and discussion of new ideas, these seminars will be exclusively in-person. There won’t be recordings, and slides won’t be shared afterwards.
If you are interested in presenting at a WIP, please contact Dr. Alma-Martina Cepika or her admin, Kristha Fernandez.
