Alexander Tsankov, PhD

The Tsankov lab’s overall vision is to use genomics to build data-driven, predictive models that improve diagnosis, find new drugable pathways, and personalize treatment of patients with lung cancer and respiratory diseases. We utilize state-of-the-art single cell transcriptomic, epigenetic, and spatial technologies on clinical samples from patients and advanced computational analysis with the goal of unraveling the underlying regulatory mechanisms in normal lung tissue homeostasis and lung disease. Of particular interest is how the interactions of the lung epithelium with the immune and stromal microenvironment change between normal and diseased states.
