Research Focus Areas
Cancer Biology and Immune Cell Function
Examining the molecular mechanisms of cancer with a focus on cancer cell signaling, cell growth, proliferation, and metabolism both in cancer cells and immune cells.
Cancer Genetics
Leveraging cutting edge technology, big data, and computational approaches to identify genes and signaling pathways in various cancers.
Cancer Imaging and Early Detection
Developing novel, imaging-based approaches for early detection of cancer, improved treatment responses, and new non-invasive, image-based tumor biomarkers.
Experimental Therapeutics
Identifying novel molecular targets for cancer, for both drug development and to foster interaction between basic, translational, and clinical scientists.
Cancer Control
Enhancing our understanding of the environmental, genetic, and psychological variables driving cancer (etiology, risk, prevention, diagnosis, and prognosis).
Cancer Types
A comprehensive listing of the types of cancer under active research along with contact information for affiliated faculty.
Shared Resources for Researchers
Michigan State University provides access to many core facilities and shared resources across the campus in support of research.
