Role of RAD51 in Metastasis
Summary:
Dr. Jalal is examining the role of RAD51, a protein important to DNA repair, in metastasis, or spread, of lung cancer. If we can fully understand how RAD51 affects metastasis, we can find new ways to target the protein, with the ultimate goal of improving outcomes for people with metastatic lung cancer.
