May 30, 2017/in Uncategorized /by Kai

The Kessenbrock lab and the Department of Biological Chemistry is hosting Dr. Long Cai from the California Institute of Technology. Dr. Cai shared his exciting findings on “Spatial Genomics: single cell in situ and lineage analysis” on May 17th, 2017, 11:00AM-12:00PM in the Hitachi Lecture Hall. Thanks to Andrew Komoto for helping to organize Long’s visit, and to Quy Nguyen for serving as student host.

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.
