~ Exploiting Stemness as a Cancer Cell Vulnerability ~ We are interested in understanding the general mechanism of tumorigenesis and developing strategies to prevent cancer through gaining new knowledge of the biological and molecular characteristics of cancer stem cells that are likely associated with the unfavorable outcome of this disease. Tumor types particularly prevalent in…

We study the signals that control cell growth and differentiation in the nervous system, and the manner in which these signals are dysregulated in brain tumors. Current areas of research include sonic hedgehog signaling, normal and cancer stem cells, and mouse models of medulloblastoma.
