Conceptual Schematic

THE THREE MOST SIGNIFICANT QUESTIONS THAT DEFINE YOUR RESEARCH PROGRAM:
How does the concept of stemness relate to cancer?
How does the tumor microenvironment, particularly macrophage and stromal polarization, affect invasion and metastasis?
How can we best leverage autologous tissue stem cells for reconstructive and regenerative therapy?

FIVE KEYWORDS THAT DESCRIBE YOUR AREAS OF INTEREST:
Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition
Cellular Therapy
Blood and Bone Marrow Transplantation
Cancer invasion and metastasis
Soft tissue reconstruction

TECHNIQUES, MODELS, METHODS, ANALYTIC APPROACHES, ETC:
Flow cytometry, Multivariate statistics, Fluorescence microscopy, Human tumor xenograft models, Good manufacturing practices
