Dr. Yijun Sun's lab focuses on understanding basal-like breast cancer, one of the most aggressive forms of the disease. They use advanced sequencing technologies and computational techniques to explore how this cancer progresses and to develop better prognostic tests and potential therapeutic targets. The lab aims to improve treatment options for patients and contribute to the overall knowledge of cancer biology.

Dr. Chelsie Armbruster's lab focuses on understanding urinary tract infections (UTIs), particularly those associated with catheter use. They explore how certain bacteria interact with the urinary tract and the role of glycosaminoglycans, a protective layer in the bladder, in infection and immune responses. The lab aims to discover new ways to prevent these infections, especially in vulnerable populations, by studying bacterial behavior and the infection process.
