Signaling Networks & Metabolic Pathways Research Program

The overall mission of the Signaling Networks & Metabolic Pathways (Basic Science) Research Program is to discover new foundational aspects of cancer biology needed to translate research from bench to bedside. The Basic Science program spans disciplines of cancer cell signaling, cancer metabolism, tumor immunology, inflammation, and the microenvironment.

Program Aims

  • Define how oncogenic signaling and epigenetic alterations cooperate to regulate cancer cell identity, stemness, and therapeutic response.
  • Identify metabolic vulnerabilities that can be exploited for therapeutic intervention.
  • Define the molecular and cellular mechanisms by which inflammation and immune cross-talk drive cancer initiation, progression, and therapeutic response.
