Scientists in my laboratory are devising new technologies to allow the rapid diagnosis of cancer and assess the risk of metastasis. In addition, we are testing new approaches to treatment of cancer using chemotherapeutic agents, ionizing radiation and hyperthermia. We are currently developing methods that will assist oncologists in predicting whether or not a particular cancer will respond to a given therapy. Using the tools of cell culture, biochemistry and immunology, we are searching for new therapies that will shut-down blood supply to tumors or trigger apoptosis, programmed cell death, of tumor cells taken from patients or experimental animals.
