What this research studies
Our team uses sophisticated computer analysis to support several important cancer projects. We aim to understand the detailed ways cancers develop and find new insights that can help patients with pediatric and adult solid tumors, lung cancer, and sarcoma. This involves comparing patient tumor samples with laboratory models to ensure they are similar, identifying potential new drug targets, and studying how cancers become resistant to treatments. We also explore the biology of specific proteins in lung cancer and the role of certain genetic elements in sarcoma.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Patients with pediatric solid tumors, adult solid tumors, lung cancer, or sarcoma may eventually benefit from the insights gained from this foundational research.
Not a fit: Patients whose conditions are not related to pediatric solid tumors, adult solid tumors, lung cancer, or sarcoma would likely not directly benefit from this specific research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could lead to new ways to identify effective treatments, overcome drug resistance, and improve care for various cancers.
How similar studies have performed: This research builds upon existing knowledge in cancer biology and computational analysis, integrating advanced techniques to explore new avenues for understanding and treating cancer.
