Pati Lab - Team
Over the past two decades, the Pati Lab has made foundational contributions to chromosome biology and cancer research, publishing more than 70 peer-reviewed articles that have advanced our understanding of cohesin biology, chromosome segregation, and genomic instability. Our discoveries—including identifying Separase as an oncogene, developing the first small-molecule Separase inhibitors, and uncovering new therapeutic vulnerabilities in Ewing sarcoma—have established the scientific foundation for innovative precision cancer therapies.
Together, we are united by a passion for scientific discovery, collaboration, and translating fundamental biology into better treatments for patients with aggressive cancers. We foster a supportive, multidisciplinary environment where students, trainees, and researchers work side by side to advance the next generation of cancer therapeutics. Meet our current and past lab members below.

Become part of our team!
Join us in turning chromosome biology into the next generation of cancer therapies.
We welcome motivated students, postdoctoral fellows, and collaborators interested in chromosome biology, medicinal chemistry, or translational cancer research. Our lab combines fundamental discovery with active drug development; a rare environment where you can move a finding from mechanism through to a preclinical candidate.
