The Walker Lab is an inquisitive group of scientists, dedicated to discovering novel ways to inhibit breast cancer metastasis through exosome induced cellular reprogramming. By innovating new techniques and utilizing cutting-edge technology, we are determined to revolutionize how breast cancer is treated and ultimately provide a cure. Our ultimate goal is to improve the quality of life for those affected by breast cancer and to reduce the mortality rate associated with this disease.
Research Areas
Exosome-induced cellular reprogramming refers to a process where exosomes, which are small extracellular vesicles, transfer genetic material and signaling molecules between cells, leading to changes in the recipient cells' behavior and function. While exosomes play important roles in intercellular communication and normal physiological processes, their involvement in breast cancer progression is the focus of our research.
