Our research blends fundamental, translational, and clinical sciences
We investigate pathways related to metastasis and therapeutic resistance
Our mission is to improve the outcomes of patients with aggressive gynecologic cancers
 

We focus on identifying pathways involved in metastasis and therapeutic resistance, investigating the influence of the tumor microenvironment, and developing targeted therapeutics with the ultimate goal of fighting gynecologic cancers and improving patient outcomes.

Some of the gynecologic cancer topics we investigate:

  • Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and their role in the tumor microenvironment
  • The role of receptor tyrosine kinases AXL and DDR2
  • The role of angiogenesis in metastasis and therapeutic resistance
  • Immune response and immunotherapy
  • Therapeutic development and clinical trials
