Summary

Cell cycle dysregulation is a hallmark of every tumor. My lab uses quantitative single-cell microscopy and machine learning to study how the cell cycle changes during tumorigenesis, metastasis, and drug treatment, and the role of tumor microenvironment in regulating the proliferative state of a patient's tumor. Ultimately, our goal is to predict disease outcomes and therapeutic success by looking directly at the phenotype driving tumor growth — the cancer cell cycle.
