Research summary
Understanding the role of tumor heterogeneity in cancer biology using single cell and spatial techniques, with an emphasis on how tumor subpopulations (malignant, stromal, and immune cells) drive cancer development, growth, metastasis, and treatment resistance. We are particularly focused on how to translate these insights into new diagnostics and novel therapeutics.
