Profile
The thrust area of research is to understand molecular mechanisms of chemo resistance and tumor recurrence in triple negative breast cancer. Another important focus of the laboratory is development of live cell based assays for identifying molecules that specifically target key pathways in cancer such as cell cycle, proteasome-Ubiquitin pathway, angiogenesis, HIF and tumor stem cells.
