Chronic pancreatitis is a major risk factor for pancreatic cancer, which is one of the most aggressive malignancies and among the highest mortality rate of all cancers. Current projects in the lab are focused on investigating

the role

s of a G-protein signaling and cell polarity in pancreatic cancer and pancreatitis. Our lab previously demonstrated that pancreas-specific deletion of the G-protein, Ga13, promotes tumor development in a genetic mouse model of pancreatic cancer.
