Meet the PI, Lu Sun, Ph.D.

The Bann Laboratory focuses on discovering novel mechanistic targets to treat heart failure. We aim to identify regulators of cardiac cell fate reprogramming and regeneration as a molecular strategy to repair and heal the heart following injury.

The Bann Laboratory focuses on discovering novel mechanistic targets to treat heart failure. We aim to identify regulators of cardiac cell fate reprogramming and regeneration as a molecular strategy to repair and heal the heart following injury.

Research in the Kober lab focuses on understanding how enzymatic functions are regulated. We take highly interdisciplinary approaches and primarily focus on the mechanisms of protein homeostasis in the context of lipid metabolism.

Skip to main content Cost Effectiveness of HCC screening We have conducted cost-effectiveness studies showing that screening is cost-effective compared to no screening. We have also shown that biomarker-based screening would be cost-effective, depending on utilization, costs of tests, and sensitivity…

Skip to main content HCC Screening Utilization and Interventions We have shown that despite clear guidelines, HCC screening remains underutilized. We have conducted multi-center survey studies to identify relevant barriers including provider knowledge gaps, patient misconceptions, and systemic ineffi…

Skip to main content Emerging Blood-based Biomarkers for HCC Screening Blood-based biomarkers offer a non-invasive, scalable strategy for HCC screening that can increase sensitivity for early-stage HCC as well as adherence. Tests like GALAD and methylated DNA panels have shown promise in improving se…
