Research
The Roose lab focuses on understanding cell fate decisions driven by cell-cell interactions and signaling pathways, in the context of cancer and autoimmune diseases. We also run an organoid disease to biology unit connected to UCSF’s CoLabs and generate, characterize, and biobank patient-specific organoid avatars as part of our collaborative bioengineering-, stem cell-, and cancer- research. The lab spans fundamental to pre-clinical science via collaborations with biophysicists, computational engineers, geneticists, and clinicians. There is a rich training environment for staff, students, postdocs, and fellows in the infrastructure of the Roose lab and the programs we are connected to.
