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 solves complex problems in cancer biology using precision oncology fueled by genetics, cell biology, bioinformatics, 3D patient-derived platforms, pre-clinical mouse trials, advanced microscopy and digital pathology.

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

  1. Precision therapeutics for treatment-resistant lung adenocarcinoma

  2. Tumor promoting properties of circadian gene expression in the peripheral lung

  3. Intravital imaging of invasion and metastasis

‍Invasion-linked gene expression analysis reveals a therapeutic vulnerability in LKB1-mutant lung cancer that can be rapidly translated to the clinic.
