Christian Kunder
Clinical Associate Professor, Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy main interest is in understanding the biology of human neoplasms, using traditional histopathology, molecular genetic techniques, and other modalities. In particular, I am interested in soft tissue and genitourinary neoplasms, especially prostate cancer.
I am also interested in the classification and nomenclature of neoplasms and in practical research that helps us refine these, using a variety of techniques but still principally guided by histopathology.
I also work on developing next generation sequencing-based tests for genotyping tumors and in expanding the scope of this testing with the goal of identifying patients eligible for novel targeting therapies. -
Maayan Levy
Associate Professor of Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe Levy Lab studies how microbiome-brain interactions influence metabolism, behavior, and disease. By investigating how microbial signals affect neural circuits, we explore mechanisms underlying obesity, diabetes, and psychiatric conditions. The lab seeks to uncover new therapeutic targets using advanced neuroscience tools like optogenetics and imaging. Our research aims to improve understanding of how microbiome imbalances contribute to disease and how restoring balance can promote health.

Wen Li
Basic Life Research Scientist, Pathology Operations supported expenses #2
BioWen’s research focuses on mitochondrial reverse electron transport (RET) in neurodegenerative diseases where tau pathology plays either a primary or secondary pathogenic role. Her work seeks to understand how pathological tau disrupts mitochondrial complex I function and RET, and how these alterations contribute to oxidative stress and neurodegeneration. Her research further explores whether targeting RET can provide a shared therapeutic strategy across tau-associated neurodegenerative diseases.
