Taran Gujral

Research Summary

The Gujral lab takes a multidisciplinary approach to studies of cell-cell interactions. We investigate both tumor cells and their microenvironment — the noncancerous cells that surround them. Interactions among the cancerous and noncancerous cells in a tumor influence how well it grows, spreads and resists treatment. We are looking inside and outside tumor cells to discover the molecular programs initiated by these interactions. We are also developing new computational tools to predict response to therapy.
