Lipid growth factor signaling
The major focus of our research is on bioactive lysophospholipids, particularly the lipid growth factor LPA, its cognate receptors, signaling mechanisms and role in health and disease. In addition, we are studying how and where LPA is produced by autotaxin, a secreted phosphodiesterase implicated in tumor progression.
