Focus on Labs
BLOOD CLOTTING & STROKE
 Renowned geneticist Dr. David Ginsburg studies families prone to hemophilia and other bleeding disorders to understand how genes and biomolecules influence blood clotting, stroke and heart disease.
 CANCER
Dr. David Sherman dives the Costa Rican seas, harvesting the reef for sponges and their complex microbial partners .This ecosystem may be the final frontier in natural products based drug discovery for cancer and infectious disease.
 Dr. Stephen J. Weiss, a world reknown cell biologist, is mastering how cells move through the body’s tissues to do their work. By applying his team’s insights into the molecular machinery that drives cell movement, they are developing new potential interventions for cancer, obesity and other chronic inflammatory diseases.
 DIABETES
Dr. Alan Saltiel, charts the cellular universe to study insulin and its role in regulating the body’s metabolism. Dr. Saltiel’s team is making discoveries that may lead to new treatments for Type 2 Diabetes.
