RESEARCH

Dr. Liby’s research investigates the role of inflammation in cancer and aims to develop and test new drugs for the prevention or treatment of cancer and other chronic diseases. Lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, and a subset of breast cancer (estrogen receptor-negative or ER-) are three of the leading causes of cancer death, and the Liby Lab uses the most relevant mouse models available to study the development of these three cancers and to test new drugs.
