Dr. Moon has a clinical interest in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and is part of the UNC Multidisciplinary HCC Clinic. He is an associate member within the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center. Dr. Moon has an interest in epidemiology and outcomes research in liver cancer and cirrhosis. His specific research interests include...

Alternative splicing is a posttranscriptional mechanism that explains how individual genes can produce more than one transcript due to the inclusion or exclusion of specific regions originating multiple protein isoforms with diverse features. More than 90% of human genes undergo alternative splicing. This high prevalence raises the question of how...

She offers surgery, treats her patients with chemotherapy, and collaborates with radiation oncologists to develop a comprehensive treatment plan. She is Principal Investigator for NRG/Gynecologic Oncology Group. She is an International...

Since my initial involvement in the discovery of oncogenic RAS genes in human cancer in 1982, my research has focused on defining the mechanisms by which RAS oncoproteins drive cancer growth. Overall, our studies take a multi-faceted approach that includes the application of protein crystallography, transcriptome analyses, kinome profiling and...

Dr. Hanson is a Professor in the Department of Medicine. She graduated from Harvard Medical School in 1986, and trained in Internal Medicine at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.

I am the medical director of the UNC Multi-disciplinary kidney stone clinic. My research interests focus primarily on outcomes related to kidney stone surgery and utilization of preventive measures for stone recurrence. I additionally have a clinical and research interest in new treatment modalities for benign prostatic diseases.

Our lab investigates metabolic differences between cancer and non-cancer that originate within the energy-producing organelle of the cell referred to as the mitochondrion. Mitochondria are present in all cell types (RBCs excluded), and thus the assumption has been that all mitochondria are alike, and that function declines due to disease...

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Research Imaging Center (BRIC) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. My research focuses on the segmentation of infant brain images, volume-based analysis of early brain development, and early prediction of autism, with 200+ peer-reviewed journal...

I have had a long standing interest in utilizing an interdisciplinary scientific approach to develop and apply novel and innovative fluorescence microscopy imaging techniques to answer critical and previously intractable questions in cell and neurobiology. I have developed and applied advanced microscopy techniques, cell biological applications, and quantitative image analysis...

I study the ways in which public policies and retail environments influence the consumption of health-related products, especially tobacco.
