Last update:

My laboratory conducts basic research on cellular and molecular aspects of urological cancers, with particular attention given to prostate and bladder cancer. The laboratory has 3 major research projects in the areas of tumor cell invasion, metastasis and drug discovery. We routinely employ molecular biology, genetics, cell biology, biochemical, bioinformatic, cell motility imaging, orthotopic xenograft and transgenic models of disease and in situ studies on human tissues approaches to address questions concerning these issues.

The success of the laboratory is in great part due to the excellent people and collaborators both at the University of Virginia and elsewhere. For further details on the projects, people, collaborators and facilities please click the appropriate button on the left.
