• Obesity and diabetes in cancer
• Genetically engineered mouse models
 

Research Description

The research lab studies gynecologic oncology. A current focus of the lab is to elucidate the role of obesity in contributing to endometrial cancer. Our goal is to identify novel targets which can be used to develop therapies for endometrial cancer. Pathways of interest include PI3K, endoplasmic reticulum stress and interferon signaling.
