Nearly every facet of human experience is colored by the sense of sight. The effortlessness and immediacy with which this sense conveys physical, social, and aesthetic qualities of one's environment belie the extraordinary complexity of the brain mechanisms involved. Our acute dependence upon these mechanisms is brought to the fore, however, by a variety of developmental, traumatic, and disease-related disorders of visual perception and visually-guided behavior. While rarely life- threatening, such disorders can be profoundly debilitating, impairing activities that we have come to take for granted, such as reading, driving, or recognizing family and friends. We seek a thorough understanding of brain mechanisms of visual information processing, with the promise of effective treatment and remediation of disorders of vision, as well as insights into the nature of our conscious experience of the world. The specific aims of our research have been to identify how sensory signals in...

The research focuses on important problems related to cancer initiation, detection, progression, metastasis and treatment. These projects are based on our recent observations concerning cell state plasticity that arises during cancer progression. Specifically, we are using a single cell RNA sequencing, epigenetic profiling, and developing novel in vivo and in vitro strategies involving mouse models and organoid cultures to determine how cancer cells undergo developmental reprogramming to generate intra-tumoral heterogeneity and metastasis. We use computational methods based on mouse cancer models and human databases. Our work has focused significantly on breast cancer, but new studies have taken us into exciting directions involving cell state reprogramming involving acinar-ductal metaplasia in the genesis of pancreas cancer. Our long-term goals are to devise novel strategies to intercept cells undergoing reprogramming to reduce the probability that drug resistant or metastatic...
