Research project funded by the National Cancer Institute to study bladder cancer metastasis mechanisms and identify therapeutic targets using advanced biological models.
Description
The project focuses on understanding the biological processes and molecular mechanisms underlying metastatic bladder cancer, with the goal of identifying new therapeutic targets. The research involves novel genetically-engineered mouse models, systems biology approaches, and patient-derived organoid models. The project aims to investigate the transition from pre-invasive to metastatic disease and identify drugs that target master regulators involved in metastasis.
