Atlantic Cancer Research Institute
Research Project:
Exploration of the mechanism by which eIF3e controls epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in lung cancer
Summary:
Dr. Lewis’s research will continue to investigate how decreased eIF3e expression leads to EMT, perhaps via regulation of TGF-expression in lung cancer cells, which will provide a better understanding of how the EMT process (and thus cancer metastasis) is controlled.
