Overview
The Cell and Molecular Biology Research Program promotes collaborative science focused on the interplay between metabolic and proliferative signaling networks, genetic and epigenetic regulations, and the tumor microenvironment.
Spanning basic and clinical science, the program's research outcomes include identifying new markers and targets to improve cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
The program has four primary themes:
- Cancer Cell Metabolism
- Cell Survival and Death Mechanisms
- Mechanisms of lnvasion and Metastasis
- Gene Regulation
Training Tomorrow's Cancer Researchers
Many members of the Cell and Molecular Biology Research program mentor students admitted to Emory University's Cancer Biology Graduate Program, providing outstanding training opportunities in every aspect of cancer research, from basic to translational.
Publications
Cancer Molecular Biology program members continuously publish high-quality research in premier scientific journals.
