Research Focus
How cells respond to information from their surroundings and use this information to make decisions. The Kreeger lab utilizes systems biology and tissue engineering to analyze this question in the context of women’s health, particularly breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and endometriosis. We utilize an iterative approach, where we develop model culture systems that allow us to study these diseases in a controlled environment, use a variety of high-throughput experimental methods to gather information about the cellular signaling network, and employ computational models to interpret the data. Ultimately, our models will be utilized to identify new drug targets and match patients to the most effective drugs.
