Project title

"The role of the c-Met/Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) pathway in drug resistance and tumor metastasis"

Dr. Wang seeks to understand the mechanisms by which tumor cells become resistant to drug therapy and spread to distant organs. She is utilizing functional genomics tools to identify novel pathways modulating these processes in the hope of developing new therapies to augment treatment response in cancer patients.
