Mission

Our mission is to advance the development of new therapies for patients with lung cancer through scientific discovery of the molecular mechanisms of drug sensitivity and resistance, understanding tumor evolution during treatment, and identification of targetable vulnerabilities to guide investigation of novel therapeutic strategies.

We are a diverse group of physicians & scientists with expertise in cell biology, pharmacology, genetics, immunology and computational biology. We are currently recruiting at all levels - if you would like to join our team, please contact us.
