In conjunction with Tumor Invasion, Metastasis and Angiogenesis (TIMA), NU-SDRC sponsors this multidisciplinary program which provides a forum for laboratories to present their research in a “work in progress” format to obtain feedback from a large group with wide ranging of expertise.  Currently participating laboratories come from a variety of departments, including (although not limited to) Cell and Molecular Biology, Dermatology, Medicine, Microbiology-Immunology, Pathology, Pediatrics, Urology and Surgery. Areas of interest are diverse; selected research programs that are regularly represented focus on intermediate filament biology, adhesion and cell motility, stem cell biology, signaling, wound healing, and host-pathogen interactions.
