Le Cong

Assistant Professor of Pathology (Pathology Research) and of Genetics
Research Interests
Our lab develops gene-editing technologies like novel CRISPR systems and large gene insertion techniques for gene&cell therapy. We also leverages these gene-editing tools for single-cell functional screening, to probe molecular mechanisms of cancer and immunological diseases. To accelerate our work, we integrate AI and machine learning to design and evolve gene-editing proteins/RNAs in silico, pushing the frontier that bridges computational and experimental biology.

Kara Davis

Associate Professor of Pediatrics (Hematology/Oncology)
Clinical Focus
Pediatric Hematology-Oncology
Research Interests
Childhood cancers can be considered aberrations of normal tissue development. We are interested in understanding childhood cancers through the lens of normal development. Further, individual tumors are composed of heterogeneous cell populations, not all cells being equal in their ability to respond to treatment or to repopulate a tumor. Thus, we take single cell approach to determine populations of clinical relevance.
