The Cell Response and Regulation (CRR) Program works to decipher cellular mechanisms of cancer biology, through transdisciplinary research, providing a foundation for new approaches to clinical issues.

The program’s research focuses on the mechanisms by which cancer cells become transformed and/or progress to the metastatic malignant state.

CRR research is centered around the following three Specific Aims:

  1. To elucidate mechanisms underlying cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival
  2. To uncover mechanisms and pathways mediating tumor metastasis
  3. To understand tumor development and cellular responses to therapy
