​Mission: Being part of a cancer center, we are dedicated to clinical translation through rigorous and meaningful scientific investigation. We are also an academic laboratory united by scholarship, committed to mentorship, and passionate about learning.

Diversity: We are genuinely excited about generating a laboratory environment that celebrates our unique personal and professional backgrounds. We strive to channel our individual styles into innovative problem-solving approaches. We strongly believe that an inclusive and collegial atmosphere will enable the best science to be delivered.

​Mentorship: Engaging undergraduates, graduate students, and postdoctoral trainees of all levels is an important part of our lab. Clinicians and physician-scientists will benefit from a scientific environment that incorporates medical expertise and clinical relevance into experimental design.  We hope to stimulate community-oriented learning that enables peers to help one another fill gaps in knowledge.  By emboldening members to consider distinct viewpoints and broad strategies, we hope to promote a rich atmosphere for intellectual discourse, original investigation, and opportunities for scientific breakthroughs. 

​My first research mentor, Dr. Diego Cadavid, who I worked with as a college freshman in 2002, gave a memorable talk to the laboratory and DFCI members about his journey as a physician-scientist spanning academia, pharma, and biotech on July 8th, 2021. Inspired by this inaugural talk, we will have an annual invited speaker to share their wisdom every July by delivering the "Diego Cadavid" lecture.
