Cancer biology
Invasion and metastasis in brain cancer (Collaboration with Dr. Thomas Klonisch)
Glioblastoma (GB) is the most common primary malignant brain cancer in adults and has one of the worst 5-year survival rates of all human cancers. The ability of GB cells to invade the normal brain contributes substantially to fatal outcome. This invasive pattern of GB progression has been attributed, in part, to the up-regulation of growth factors, proteases, and STAT3 signaling pathway activity. Our research focuses on the G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) Relaxin Family Peptide Receptor 1 (RXFP1), its downstream signaling and biological functions in human GB.
