Our lab is interested in understanding the relationship between injury, regeneration, and cancer. We are focused on identifying the genes and mechanisms that regulate regenerative capacity in the liver and understanding how these contribute to hepatocellular carcinoma development.
We investigate the neuro-hormonal basis for complex eating behaviors and blood glucose control, with the ultimate goal of designing new methods to prevent and treat extremes of body weight, blood glucose, and associated disorders of mood and metabolism.
Our laboratory is interested in studying the intersection between lung cancer and immunology. We are currently focused on co-opting innate immune signaling pathways and tumor-associated T cell populations to target diverse subsets of lung cancer.
