Our first big grant (2020 NextGen Grant for Transformative Cancer Research) has been awarded from the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR)!! These studies will provide the first whole-brain map of breast cancer-induced changes in neuronal activity. Additionally, we will transcriptionally profile these differentially activated neurons to identify key gene expression signatures underlying cancer’s effect on the brain. Finally, we will selectively manipulate these neurons and assess downstream changes in tumor and host physiology. Postdoc position openings will be announced soon.
