The Churpek Lab is driven by the belief that understanding inherited genetic risk is key to transforming patient care and achieving the ultimate goal of disease prevention. Our vision is to lead pioneering research into the genetic and molecular underpinnings of cancer and blood disorder susceptibility. By integrating clinical insight with cutting-edge genomic and bench science, we aim to uncover mechanisms of disease, identify individuals at risk before symptoms arise, and develop personalized approaches to prevention and treatment. Ultimately, we strive to bridge the gap between discovery and care—empowering patients and families with knowledge and improving health outcomes across generations.
