Job Description

Summary

The Xiang Zhang Lab investigates biological mechanisms and therapeutic strategies of breast cancer metastasis. The lab is currently investigating early-stage bone colonization of disseminated breast cancer cells and breast cancer-induced immunosuppression.

The primary focus of the Zhang Lab is to study: how the systemic and local immune environment varies among tumors of diverse genetic/epigenetic background; 2) how to identify the critical immune cell types/functions in a specific tumor context; and 3) how different tumors evolve dependencies on specific immune cells. Our ultimate goal is to identify therapies that could restore the normal functions of the immune system.
