John Witte
Professor of Epidemiology and Population Health, of Biomedical Data Science and of Genetics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe Witte lab is a computational group developing and applying novel methods to decipher the mechanisms underlying complex diseases and traits. Recent research includes evaluating polygenic risk scores for trait prediction, investigating the shared genetic basis of cancer and other traits, and genetically adjusting biomarkers (e.g., prostate specific antigen) to improve disease screening.

Albert J. Wong, M.D.
Professor of Neurosurgery
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur goal is to define targets for cancer therapeutics by identifying alterations in signal transduction proteins. We first identified a naturally occurring mutant EGF receptor (EGFRvIII) and then delineated its unique signal transduction pathway. This work led to the identification of Gab1 followed by the discovery that JNK is constitutively active in tumors. We intiated using altered proteins as the target for vaccination, where an EGFRvIII based vaccine appears to be highly effective.
