Research Overview

  • Regulation of gene expression and signal transduction pathways is key for the survival of all living organisms, from bacteria to humans. My laboratory aims to understand key mechanisms involved in the regulation gene expression and signal transduction pathways in cancer. To this end, we are using unbiased functional genomics approaches and hypothesis-based research. Our long-term goal is to identify new cancer-specific vulnerability pathways that can be targeted to develop improved cancer treatments.
