AboutAbout the lab
Decoding the interactions between cancer and its surrounding cells.
From the standpoint of cell biology, the lab studies the environment formed by cancer cells and the cells surrounding them (the tumor microenvironment).
It focuses on how cells communicate with one another through extracellular vesicles such as exosomes.
Immune cells that work near tumors (tumor-associated macrophages) and models that mimic body tissues are also key research topics.
Key terms
- Tumor microenvironment
- The environment formed by cancer cells together with the normal cells, immune cells, and other cells around them
- Extracellular vesicle
- A small membrane-enclosed sac released by cells. It carries contents and mediates communication between cells. Exosomes are one type
- Tumor-associated macrophage
- A type of immune cell (macrophage) that gathers near a tumor
