RESEARCH INTERESTS:Ìý
Our long-term goal is to dissect the role of CXC chemokine receptors in breast cancer
stemness in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC).Ìý Currently, we are interested
in targeting many signaling nodes downstream of CXCR4 in combination with other vulnerable,
actionable molecular targets in in vitro and preclinical orthotopic mouse models. We also work on PK/PD of the drug combinations
and any attendant toxicities involved by testing them in immunocompetent mice and
zebra fish.ÌýÌý
