Dr. Adegboyega Oyelere's lab at Georgia Tech focuses on developing new treatments for prostate cancer, particularly advanced cases known as castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). The team is working on small molecules that can target the androgen receptor, which is crucial for the growth of prostate cancer cells, and the biological processes that affect how these receptors function. By creating treatment agents that can effectively inhibit cancer growth through multiple mechanisms, the lab aims to overcome current limitations of prostate cancer therapies.

Dr. Ankur Singh's lab at Georgia Tech focuses on improving our understanding of immune responses, particularly in B cells, which are crucial for fighting infections and diseases like lymphoma. They develop innovative hydrogel-based structures that mimic lymphoid tissues to study how human B cells can be activated and sustained over time. This research aims to address significant challenges in vaccine development and racial disparities in cancer outcomes.

Dr. M.G. Finn's research lab at the Georgia Institute of Technology focuses on developing innovative HIV vaccines that utilize controlled delivery systems to enhance immune responses. By incorporating advanced materials and strategies, such as injectable hydrogels and multivalent vaccine platforms, the lab aims to increase the longevity and efficacy of vaccine-induced immunity. Their research not only concentrates on vaccine formulation but also investigates how these vaccines work on a cellular and molecular level in various animal models.

Dr. Ronghu Wu's lab at Georgia Institute of Technology focuses on understanding the roles of glycoproteins, which are proteins that have sugar molecules attached to them, in health and disease. The research is particularly relevant to conditions like cancer and infections, as these glycoproteins can serve as crucial indicators for disease diagnosis and potential drug targets. The lab develops innovative techniques to study these molecules to better understand their functions and interactions in various biological processes.
