Lab Opening Party – Cinco de Mayo

May 19, 2016/in Uncategorized /by Kai

The Lawson and Kessenbrock labs have celebrated their lab openings on Thursday, May 5th 5pm in the court yard between Sprague Hall and Hewitt Hall with drinks and tacos on Cinco de Mayo. Thanks to all lab members in the photo who helped organizing this event – and of course to everyone at UCI who joined us in our fiesta!

RESEARCH GOALS

The Kessenbrock Lab studies cellular communication in single cell resolution in the context of normal tissue homeostasis and in breast cancer. We want to understand how stem cell behavior is extrinsically regulated by the microenvironment of the mammary stem cell niche and learn how the molecular composition of the niche changes during tumorigenesis. Our interdisciplinary research approach will identify biomarkers for early detection and may ultimately lead to the discovery of novel therapeutic approaches to treat or even prevent breast cancer before it develops.
