Research Technician - Medford, United States - Tufts University
Description
Overview
The Oudin lab investigates the mechanisms of cancer metastasis, the dissemination of cells from the primary tumor to other sites within the body, which is responsible for 90% of deaths linked to cancer.
Chemotherapy is the standard of care for metastatic breast cancer, although many patients do not respond well or develop resistance to these drugs.
The goal of our research is to understand the contribution of the components that surround and support tumors in these processes, such as the extracellular matrix of peripheral nerves, to better predict which tumors will metastasize and become drug-resistant, as well as find new ways to treat them.
The Oudin lab uses in vitro and in vivo approaches to study cancer progression, microscopy ad electrophysiological methods.What You'll Do
