About this department
Publications
The Department of Cell and Molecular Biology at St. Jude was established in 2014 to enhance and expand the institution’s commitment to basic biologic discovery. Current areas of research include elucidating the molecular mechanisms that govern RNA granule dynamics and those that regulate autophagy and mRNA translation. We are also working to illuminate the Hedgehog-signaling pathway and identify those mechanisms that underlie mitochondrial dynamics. A broad array of experimental platforms and approaches, ranging from comprehensive genomics and proteomics, to advanced cellular and computational biology, and genetic model systems are used in support of these efforts.
The department, which is closely integrated with all other St. Jude departments conducting basic research, also facilitates the introduction of cutting-edge cell and molecular biological approaches and technologies to the St. Jude community. Thus, the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology is at the forefront of St. Jude’s efforts to elucidate normal cellular functions and determine how those functions are impaired in disease. We believe that this knowledge is essential to St. Jude’s mission of preventing, treating, and finding cures for catastrophic illnesses of children.

Extraordinary collaboration
Our labs and spaces are open. Our culture is un-siloed. We share results and transmit information across disciplines and across the globe. We’ve created an environment where scientists and clinicians can progress the cures for catastrophic diseases.
Secure funding
We have committed critical resources to raise the survival rate of children with cancer and other ciritcal diseases. Our funding accommodates growth for the next 20 years and ensures that our pioneering work can continue far in the future.
Innovative core facilities
The world’s leading experts in lab design created a cutting-edge space where researchers can focus on immunology, neurobiology, cell and molecular biology, gene editing, metabolomics, advanced microscopy, epigenetics, genomics, immunotherapy and RNA biology.
Shared resources
Cures are advanced when resources are shared. Our data and analytics tools are freely available to the global research community. Please see which of our comprehensive scientific resources can help propel your research.
