Cancer
The cancer biology program draws upon a variety of distinct and complementary approaches to better understand the molecular, cellular and genetic determinants that govern tumor formation and disease progression. Utilizing a combination of experimental in vitro and in vivo models as well as clinical samples, our researchers investigate fundamental mechanisms that govern tumor initiation, cancer cell migration and invasion, tumor cell survival, metastasis, cell cycle control, the tumor microenvironment and chemoresistance. Many projects bridge basic research with clinical platforms for cancer diagnostics and treatment.
