Warren Lab in Surgical Oncology
The Warren laboratory in surgical oncology is conducting research aimed at identifying lesions that lead to the development and spread of cancer.
Researchers in the lab are focused on identifying lesions associated with the tumorigenesis and metastasis. The Surgical Oncology Tumor Bank has been invaluable in advancing this research possible. For example, the lab was able to help validate the role of microRNAs in a mouse model of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors using human neuroendocrine tumor specimens. The lab is also investigating the role of Sall2 in conferring resistance to cancer therapies, how TNFR1 signaling contributes to the inflammatory response and cell apoptosis, and the role of colon cancer stem cells in perpetuating tumor growth.
Our mission is to develop the next generation of leaders in academic surgery.
Your gift to the Warren Lab in Surgical Oncology helps scientists discover new treatments and cures for metastatic colorectal cancer, neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas and other GI cancers.
