Lab Members – Momen-Heravi Lab

Scientists at the Momen-Heravi lab combine molecular biology methods, bioinformatic approaches, and translational research in their effort to understand underlying signaling events and tumor vulnerabilities to treat head and neck cancer and lung cancer as well as understand and target inflammatory cascades in periodontitis and diabetes.

The lab consists of postdocs, graduate students, dental students, and residents. We aim to be a resource to our colleagues and to train highly motivated students and post-docs to make impacts in science and patients’ life.

I am so proud of my friends, colleagues and mentors. This brilliant single-cell approach to studying the immune infiltrate of renal cell ... carcinoma may yield practice-changing novel immune targets for our patients! Bravo! https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0092867421005730?dgcid=coauthor
