Cancer Signal Transduction

Research in this area concentrates on the intracellular, cell-cell, and cell-matrix signaling events by which cancer cells establish themselves in the host organism and form neoplastic tissue. The biological mechanisms by which cancer cells proliferate, overcome apoptosis, develop self-sufficiency from growth factors, evade the immune system, become invasive, metastatic, confer resistance to therapy, and induce tumor vasculature are studied along with other hallmarks of cancer.
