Many thanks to Team Michelle and all of their supporters who came out Friday night to raise money for breast cancer! Their generous donation will support a new pilot research project in our laboratory this year. Pilot funding is the main way we start new research projects and test new ideas – so it’s absolutely […]
Our lunch party to celebrate acceptance of the Nature Cell Biology paper with Aaron Longworth and Katrina Evans
Lawson, Kessenbrock, and Navin labs publish new Nature paper ! These data provide a reference of the adult normal breast tissue for studying mammary biology and diseases such as breast cancer.
Post Doc Dr. Yingying Han has earned the position of senior scientist at Complete Genomics in San Jose, CA! She starts in June 2023 and we couldn’t be more excited for her. We will miss you, Yingying and wish you the best in this new chapter of your life!
Graduate student Yanwen Gong from Dr. Kai Kessenbrock’s lab passed her dissertation and received her doctorate degree! Yanwen was part of our big lab family, and we wish her the best in this next chapter of your life!
The Lawson lab is interested in understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the metastatic spread of cancer cells to peripheral tissues. We take a systems-level approach, using cutting edge single-cell technologies to understand how the interplay between intracellular signals within the cancer cells, and extracellular stimuli from cells in the microenvironment influence the metastatic potential of individual cancer cells. We believe that new insights into the metastatic process will lead to new drugs to prevent and treat metastatic disease.
