Molecular Oncology

The Molecular Oncology (MO) Program is an integrated basic science program composed of a diverse group of investigators with strengths in cancer stem cells, DNA damage repair and genomic instability, tumor-host interactions, and other fundamental areas of cancer biology.

Program Aims

  • Identify cancer stem cell (CSC)-driven mechanisms of tumor initiation, growth, and progression.
  • Reveal tumor microenvironment interactions that promote tumor initiation, growth, and progression.
  • Discover novel molecular vulnerabilities intrinsic to tumor cells.
