My lab's main research interest is colorectal cancer, focusing on the connection between stem cells and cancer, the role of the tumor microenvironment in cancer progression, and mechanisms of metastasis and immune evasion. Our innovative work has led to key discoveries, has inspired research by many others, and has resulted in the development of new therapies that are now in clinical trials.
