Research
The lab’s goal is to understand how immunity is fueled. In the Puleston Lab, we believe that by turning our attention to cellular metabolism, we can decode key underlying principles of immune cell biology. Most importantly, by investigating the intersection of metabolism, pathology, and the immune system, we strive to expose novel metabolic vulnerabilities that can be utilized for disease prevention and therapy. Major areas of investigation include: - How perturbations in cellular metabolism drive tumorigenesis - How local metabolic factors instruct the acquisition of tissue-specific signatures - Metabolic pathways governing immune cell dysfunction in tumors - Metabolic regulation of pluri- and multipotency in stem and progenitor cells

Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
