Research

Ras is one of the most frequently mutated oncogenes in human cancer. My laboratory focuses on basic mechanisms of Ras-driven cancer in epithelial cells using both in vitro primary cell culture and in vivo transgenic and knockout mouse models. Our current focus is on the role of IRE1α (ERN1) in the cellular response to oncogenic Ras and its role in both skin and lung cancer.
