Cancer Metastasis is the primary cause of cancer-related deaths. Research in the laboratory is dedicated to understanding the molecular biology of cancer metastasis and translating this knowledge to clinical application.
The research program is based on three central themes: A) Investigating the molecular mechanisms of tumor cell migration, B) evaluating and validating these mechanisms in the patient population, and C) developing research and clinical tools to advance our studies.
