Mioncoseq Lab (CLIA)
The Michigan Center for Translational Pathology (MCTP), led by Dr. Arul Chinnaiyan (a Howard Hughes Medical Investigator, American Cancer Society Clinical Research Professor, and a member of National Academy of Science and Medicine) was established in 2007 to bridge basic research and clinical applications in cancer.
The center features both Research labs and CAP/CLIA certified labs, which support our Mioncoseq program, cancer research, and clinical trials aimed at improving cancer treatments. The MCTP laboratories are equipped for molecular/cell biology experiments, next-generation sequencing, metabolomics, proteomics, microarray, and immunomics, supported by an extensive bioinformatics infrastructure.
The Chinnaiyan Lab, staffed with scientists, researchers, and students from various academic levels, plays a pivotal role in pharmacological and biomarker studies. Their research is focused on functional genomic, proteomic and bioinformatics approaches to study cancer for the purposes of understanding cancer biology as well as to discover clinical biomarkers.
Our aim is to bring discoveries from molecular medicine to clinical use for cancer diagnosis and treatment. We've made significant strides in driving cancer research forward and intend to advance diagnostics and therapies. Our goals include biomarker discovery, systems biology analysis, commercialization of discoveries, training researchers, and ensuring long-term success. We collaborate with Michigan Medicine, the Rogel Cancer Center, and others nationally and internationally to translate research into clinical applications.
