Welcome to
the Gilbert-Ross Lab.
Limiting the progression of human cancer by studying how cancer cells work
Located in the Department of Hematology & Medical Oncology in the Emory School of Medicine, the Gilbert-Ross Lab investigates the mechanistic role played by endocytic tumor suppressors in limiting the progression of human cancer.
To solve complex problems in cancer biology, the lab uses a variety of techniques—including genetics (mouse and fruit fly), cell biology, advanced microscopy, genomics and bioinformatics, 3D cell culture, and pre-clinical trials.
The lab is a part of the Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University—an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Currently, our lab is focused on three main areas of cancer biology
Targeted therapeutics for treatment-resistant lung adenocarcinoma
Tumor promoting properties of circadian gene expression in the peripheral lung
Intravital imaging of invasion and metastasis
Invasion-linked gene expression analysis reveals a therapeutic vulnerability to inhibition of ALK2/BMP6 signaling in LKB1-mutant lung cancer that can be rapidly translated to the clinic.
Circadian biology in LKB1/STK11 deficient lung adenocarcinoma
High resolution organismal imaging of tumor dynamics
