Research Project:
A Novel Molecular Pathway as a Target for Lung Cancer
Summary:
Julie Brahmer, MD, is a co-principal investigator on this project.
Mps1 is a critical enzyme necessary for the growth of lung cancer. This proposal will study whether blocking this enzyme can slow the growth of lung cancer in mice. If positive, it could lead to a potential new treatment for lung cancer.
