The Harris lab fully supports diversity and equity in biomedical research. Over the years Harris lab members have originated from 20 different countries and a multitude of different backgrounds, and each works closely with Dr. Harris to develop a customized training plan. We continually welcome new applicants for training at all levels.
Harris Lab
The Harris Lab uses a large repertoire of model systems and experimental approaches to understand how DNA mutating enzymes (APOBECs) provide immunity against viral infections, yet in many cases also contribute to tumor evolution through genomic DNA mutagenesis. Another goal of the Harris Lab is to translate these fundamental scientific discoveries into novel therapeutics against viruses and cancer.
