RESEARCH
Dr. Horibata uses genomics approaches to dissect the unique transcriptomic profiles of individual patients and identify optimal treatment regimens for personalized therapy. Her research goals are driven by questions concerning how cancer progresses, why it develops resistance to drug treatments, and what we can do to improve outcomes in patient care. Currently, her lab works on understanding the development and evolution of cancer drug resistance and identification of therapeutic targets.
