Faculty and Staff
Experimental Team
Phil Lorenzi, Ph.D.
Core Director
Associate Professor, Bioinformatics and Computational Biology
My background and training are in chemistry, pharmaceutical sciences, genomics, proteomics and metabolomics. Our laboratory focuses on the development of metabolic therapies for the treatment of cancer, and we collaborate with more than 200 investigators per year on projects that span the continuum of life science research and drug development. I meet with investigators to plan their experiments and assist with data analysis and interpretation.
